Grandma Noon's Scottish Scones

Recipe #168795 | 40 min | 20 min prep | add private note

This traditional recipe was brought to North America by my Great Grandmother Noon. We love it; it's rich and crumbly, the perfect accompaniment for afternoon tea. It's a real Scottish type of scone-- it's a bit sweet and dense. I suppose you could add raisins to it-- but Grandma Noon might come back and haunt you...

I've been searching for scones like my Scottish granny used to make. These weren't even close. I followed the directions exactly, but thought these were heavy and not particularly good tasting. Sorry.

    The flavor in these scones is marvelous. I made a 1/2 recipe and to make them even more diabetic friendly I replaced 1/2 a cup of white flour with whole wheat. I used 1/8 cup of Splenda brown sugar and skim milk. They turned out wonderfully. I can't say that they were especially dense even with the whole wheat addition, in fact they rose very well. I added 1/2 a tsp of Penzey's Cake Spice just because I thought it would go very nicely with the brown sugar, it did! In short, throughly wonderful scones that would accept dried fruit and/or nuts very well if one wanted to add them. Thank you Auntie Mags for a keeper scone recipe.

    Loved the rich, brown suger in these scones. I found these to be much more dense then my regular scones. Thanks so much for posting these, Auntie Mags !
