These are delicious. I used dried cherries instead of cranberries, omitted the orange rind, and added white chocolate chips. Dough was real gooey as someone else posted. Tried her trick of putting in the freezer for a few and then was able to handle it. These were very moist and gone same day!

Delicious fresh from the oven; however, these go down hill fast... so eat them up right away! Otherwise they are SOOOOO good. I used dried cranberries and half whole wheat flour/half white flour. Turned out lovely!

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.
