  1. Awesome and easy
     
  2. I found the dough to be very sticky. I think you need more flour or less liqud. However, the scones were very light and tasty. Because the dough was so sticky it made it hard to work with. Because of the texture and flavor I gave it a 4.
     
  3. Very tastey. Light and not too dry. Very flakey. I didn't have any buttermilk so I used sour milk. Didn't rise much. Not too sweet. Next time I will add more raisins.

  5. Super Scones is a great name for these. I have used both currants and raisins. I prefer the yellow raisins.

  1. Great recipe! I made a vegan version, substituting soymilk for buttermilk, soy margarine for butter and egg replacer for the eggs. I also used blueberries instead of currants. I had to add a bit more milk to make everything stick together, but this seemed to work out just fine - the texture and taste are awesome!
