Wow. I wasn't expecting these to be as amazing as they were. I added a bit more heavy cream and also some lemon zest to the batter. And the icing was perfectly made in the microwave, with only half the lemon juice the recipe called for. I also didn't have a problem with the frozen blueberries I used.

Very delicious! I can only find frozen blueberries, so I used them anyway... the dough turned out a bit soggy so I shaped it lightly with my hands and the scone turned out tasty in spite of it all.

Very good scones! The glaze was delicious BUT made way too much. You could easily cut glaze recipe in half, unless you want extra for something else. The glaze was very thin and sunk into the scones instead of adhering to the surface, like I would have rather had.

My kids love these scones. A few changes: I grate my cold butter with large cheese grater and get the right crumbly dry texture; sometimes have to add a smidge more cream; and I substitute blueberries for items my kids like. I usually divide the dry ingredients in half and make some with blueberries and some with butterscotch or chocolate chips. Kids also liked white chocolate chips and craisins as an add in. They are so fluffy and delicious warm out of the oven!

I had the perfect vision of eating these early in the morning with my chai tea : I was slightly disappointed with the lack of lemon flavor. With the fitst bite I took I WISHED I had went with my instincts & added lemon zest to the batter :( The glaze is great but you still miss it in the scone.
I will make these again but with some additional lemon & use half whole wheat flour to make them more filling.

The glaze was a nice touch instead of traditional marmalade. Would make in the future. I also had to add more heavy cream to the mixture as it was too dry to form dough.

These are really delicious. They have the perfect amount of sweetness. When I was mixing the ingredients together, the mixture was dry. I had to add more heavy cream to it. But it came out great!

These are great and so easy to make. Have made them twice now. MUST add blueberries before the cream so flour mixture coats the berries and prevents them from bleeding. Mixing berries in with hand vs spoon also helps keep berries intact. DID have to add a bit more cream (1/8 - 1/4 of a cup to get the dough right consistency. Easy to press out in a log to cut. I did not bother with the double boiler for the glaze. Just mix lemon juice and powdered sugar to your desired consistency ... whether you want them lightly glazed or more like icing. I just drizzled a bit of glaze over mine ... didn't coat them. Delicious. I even froze some iced and zapped them on low in microwave to defrost and they were still light, flaky and delicious.

These scones came out delicious! Very light, unlike most scones you see these days which are super dense. I did have a little trouble with some of the measurements in the recipe. I added an extra tablespoon of butter to the dough in order to get the texture/consistency he talked about in the video. I also had to add more cream in order to get a moist dough that I could form into the log shape for the scones. Despite these changes, the scones still came out very well.

I made the glaze in the microwave as it mentioned for an easier alternative but was not able to get it to thicken up despite added a bit of extra powdered sugar. I would suggest maybe not adding the full amount of lemon juice right away in order to get the appropriate consistency.

Despite some issues, they still came out delicious and I will definitely be repeating this recipe again soon!

These were delicious. I had to add a little more cream than the recipe called for because the dough was still very dry and crumbly. I also had to add a little more powdered sugar to the glaze, as it was a little runny. Just a few minor adjustments and they were fantastic. I will be baking these for my friend's bridal shower brunch next weekend and they will be a huge hit!
