This recipe is great! I halved it, because the last scone recipe I tried turned out bad, but I wish I had made a full recipe. I wanted to use up some leftover blueberries I had, so I replaced the cranberries and orange rind with them. I also added some cinnamon. I think I might have had too much wet ingredients; however, they were still awesome! My scones were fluffy and scrumptious. I sprinkled them with confectioner's sugar after baking and I could not stop eating these! These taste best served warm/reheated with the sugar sprinkled on top. I can't wait to try this recipe with other add-ins, thanks for a keeper!

    I combined this recipe with a cinnamon one. Ditched the cranberries and orange rind and added 4 1/2 tsp of cinnamon. They really are great. Not dry at all!

    I love this recipe. I had dried cherries on hand so I eliminated the orange rind and used the cherries. It was great. You could probably use any kind of dried fruit to change the pace of this classic.

    This is a wonderful recipe. The scones turn out so light and moist. I can see how it would be perfect for Christmas morning. I made them this morning for breakfast and the smell of the orange and cranberry made me think of Christmas.
