I had been looking for a baked scone receipe for years that was not just a little more than a biscuit. Well I finally found it in this receipe. It is special in the fact that it has just the right texture and sweetness and perfect for serving as a snack with tea or for a lovely tea party. I will never make any other kind and I am sure I will be making them for special occasions, Thank you INA

I found these scones to be excellent. Most scones I've made in the past have been somewhat heavy...these were light and airy. I did not use strawberries, I added about two tablespoons of lemon zest instead. I also sprinkled "Sugar in the Raw" to the top of the scones instead of regular sugar. I served them with spreadable strawberry fruit. The combination of of lemon and strawberry is wonderful. Again, excellent recipe.

What happened to the Winner of her Taste Test? The second recipe had walnuts and Orange zest added. The group and Contessa decided that it was the better of the two, but now the recipe of the losing scone is put on the Web Page??!!

These scones were the perfect texture. Let them sit and cool completely before digging in. My husband and I agreed that the next day, they were even better. They are not that sweet but they are not suppose to be. Just think, if they were too sweet how could you add that delicious jam or preserves on top. The best scones that I have tasted!!

I enjoyed making this recipe a few times. One time I could not located dried strawberries and used freeze-dried strawberries. It definitely worked, but did not have as strong of a strawberry flavor and didn't have the bigger pieces of strawberries in them since they crumble apart.

These are wonderful and a change from our usual lemon scones. We love these on Sunday morning.

Like some of the other reviewers, I added more sugar (1/2 cup instead of 2 Tbsp and because I didn't find dried strawberries, I used diced fresh. I also increased the amount of strawberries to about 1 cup and they worked out beautifully. As well, I did add some more cream to make the dough a little more pliable. They turned out just great - flaky and flavorful. I agree with Ina, cold butter is key so I popped mine in the freezer for a couple of minutes before I threw it in the mixer. Next time I think I will add orange zest and nuts like Ina did in the show. Another Barefoot Contessa winner!

Only okay. Need at least jam to make them great.

These were light, moist, fluffy, and delicious with bursts of strawberry. As suggested by others, I used fresh strawberries and increased the amount, and added more sugar. I used light cream instead of heavy and used less butter. They were still delicious!
