Peppery
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Next time I'll only use a tsp pepper, otherwise yummy. They went well with Chili.

Delicious and different
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I am usually not a fan of biscuit mix, but it works well here. I had a large box, so I measured out 1 1/2 cups and that was... the perfect amount for 1/2 cup of liquid (I used half and half instead of cream). After reading other reviews, I cut the pepper down to 1 1/2 teaspoons and that was perfect. My only other tip would be to bake on a sheet lined with foil and sprayed with cooking spray. These are so good!Read more

Very easy to make and delish
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Very easy to make but one thing: 2 stores later and still no "Jiffy" biscuit mix, RR should specify actual amount. I wound... up using bisquik. I went by the weight of another Jiffy box (8.5oz). I put the egg wash, salt and some cheese on top and it turned out yummy.Read more

A new twist on scones
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Rather than use a biscuit mix, I just used a scone mix, and added the cheese, nutmeg, and pepper. They were delicious, and... much lighter than the regular scone mix. I highly recommend them.Read more

Not as good as I hoped.
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I was excited to make these scones but the only flavor I got from it was salt. Perhaps I should have put more pepper, and a... little more cream. I probably won't make it again, but I do love Rachael's recipes, so I'll just try something else next time.Read more

I crave these - just don't add too much salt!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I love the flavor of these scones! However, I found that between the biscuit mix and the asiago cheese, there is plenty of... salt in the recipe without adding more!Read more
