This was really amazing, one of the best scones I've tasted. I substituted 2 tsp baking powder for the cream of tartar and baking soda. Next time, I'll brush them with buttery milk to make them look better. I also added 3 tablespoons milk and baked for 12 minutes. Although I served it up with butter, cream cheese and a myriad of jams and marmalades, everyone loved the cream cheese best.

    pretty good, I added some blueberries, but they probably could have been sweeter (I'll add more sugar next time). Also they were a bit smaller than I expected. Oh well, still it was a delicious beginning to our 'English Day'.

    I don't know if I can review this twice, but my friend made this recipe and here's her review. She added 1/2 cup frozen blueberries. "We LOVED the scones. Sooooo GOOD. I could eat these everyday. I must have this recipe. They were perfect, like a biscuit but sweeter. Yum, yum, yum!" I told her she had to sign up on Recipezaar

    Wonderful. I've tried about a dozen scone recipes in the past year and this came closest to what I was looking for - a lighter, less crumbly scone. I added slightly more sugar as I like a sweeter scone.
