I just made these yesterday and I accidentally used a whole cup of currants….I just noticed that it says 1/2 a cup. Needless to say my coworkers and hubby loved them. They were perfect with my homemade lemon curd. 3 people told me they were the best scones they ever had. Thanks. ^_^

Just baked & loved them!
I had a pack of sour heavy cream which is just started to sour (tasted sour but not bitter yet) and wasn’t good anymore for coffee or whipping. I used it for the cream in the recipe, they came our gorgeous and very tasty. I added walnut halfs a well.
Thanks!

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe- I’ve tried a few other recipes that were very mediocre tasting and wasn’t a huge fan until I tried these. I too used dried cranberries and also added some orange zest- they were so delicious and I can’t wait to try your other scone recipes!

Please help! I’ve made these twice now and I followed the recipe to a T but my scones don’t rise up in the oven, instead they spread out and end up looking like flat disks instead. This also happens when I made your chocolate chip cookies recipe. What am I doing wrong?

I made these for a brunch I hosted for my family. I thought I didn’t like scones! I was totally wrong!! These are absolutely wonderful. I made them with raisins because I can’t find currants EVER. It’s not like there is a lack of grocery stores/ health food stores/ specialty food stores in my area but no currants! bah! But I love raisins, so oh well. ANYWAY – these are so. good. I wish I had more excuses to make them, but there are only 2 of us and I get stuck on the “best the day they are baked” thing.

Thanks for another winning recipe! Nowadays it seems everything I make starts with a post here!

One word: fabulous.

A few more: Buttery-tasting, flaky, soft, mildly sweet, just plain awesome.

I’m on a Smitten Kitchen kick and loving it – made these, cranberry walnut chicken salad, and the dough for the beef empanadas for tomorrow’s dinner this evening. Dreamy is exactly the adjective for these scones! I think they’re replacing my mother’s scone recipe as my go to – shhh don’t tell :)

Great recipe. We have made this several times using different fruit. All of the combinations were great (fresh blueberries, dried cranberries). I did add a little more sugar than the recipe called for. Really like using the food processor to blend.

Loved these! So wonderfully surprised that my first scone-baking adventure was a success. Will be making these with new variations for any brunch I ever host :)

Just made these with nearly a cup of fresh blueberries and some crystallized ginger – wow! Thanks for a great recipe – one that’s likely delicious as written and a great base for heading off into uncharted territory. It took longer than usual to put my daughter to sleep tonight, and the scone that was waiting for me when she was finally asleep was a terrific reward.
