This recipe is awesome! I made these to bring to my office this morning and this is now my go-to scone recipe. Thanks!

Chelsea -- Did you use an aluminum-free baking powder? It makes a difference. Read more.

I just made these for breakfast, but they turned out tasting like baking powder. All of the other comments say that these taste so amazing, so I’m wondering where I went wrong? Thanks, and I love your blog!

I just made these for breakfast, substituting whole milk for the cream (I just couldn’t get myself to use it!!), and they came out perfectly good! One thing: these were a bit cakier than I thought they’d be, as I’d really expected something “shorter”. Very good, though, and my husband devoured them!

How does one add fresh fruit? The dough came out extremely wet and thought I had made a grave mistake and redid the dough. They turned out much like a lighter-version biscuit, I thought scones were meant to be more moist. They took a very long time to brown.

Wow, I made these with fresh-ground whole wheat flour, sucanat honey crystals, and dried blueberries and they rivaled PopTarts in flavor (we like PopTarts but avoid them because of trans fats and presevatives and high sugar) ad we so crumbly and good. YOM! I cannot wait to try them with apples next and strawberries when they’re in season!

Adam — Yup. I do so all of the time with this recipe. I’ll bake them directly from the freezer the morning I need them for a brunch or whatnot. Just needs a couple extra minutes baking time.

Looks like a good recipe. Could you flash freeze this dough and bake it off at a later date?

oh my goodness! Made these last night for an easy valentines day breakfast, paired perfectly with mimosas. These are so soft and light, I don’t know if I can ever go back to a non-cream scone. Thanks for another great recipe!
