These are really wonderful scones. I did not have any raisins but they were devoured all the same with butter and tea for our Sunday morning breakfast. If you don't have self-raising flour, you can add 1 1/2 tsp baking powder plus 1/2 tsp salt for every cup of all-purpose flour you substitute.

A couple of weeks ago, my husband who loves scones was telling me of his disappointment when he recently went to a bakery, he asked for a scone,however, due to some misunderstanding, came home to find they had packed him a little iced bun !! what disappointment, he was so looking forward to eating his scone. I had just recently discovered Recipezaar, so I thought I would cheer him up, searched for a recipe for scones and found this one. He couldn't believe his eyes when he came in from work whilst I was baking them ...... the smell when they were cooking in the oven was fabulous. He absolutely loved the scones and has asked me several times to make them since. I've made them with raisins and with cherries ..... the kids, like them plain. Thank you for sharing this - a keeper for me.

I was born in Ireland and just moved from England to Colorado. So from a scone lover, maker and eater these get 5 stars from me. Very simple recipe, very economical but they come out just wonderful. I changed the raisins to golden raisins as these are more like Irish and English sultanas which I personally prefer. And, something I do with sultanas is to soak them in tea (black) overnight and it makes the sultanas lovely and plump and yummy. So for a beginner or seasoned scone maker this recipe just turns out wonderful. You cannot go wrong and people will think you are making these for years! Thank you to Ann Teapot.

Forget the jam!!!! These are great all by themselves. I will admit, I am a girl from the deep south. I have got to get the feel for making these, but looks aside, these were wonderful. I will make these many times in the future, and hopefully learn how to make them look a little more like the scones I have seen on TV.

Excellent scones, good enough to eat them as they were. They still did get the whole treatment, I mean I served them with dishes of preserves, cream and butter for an English tea afternoon.

I absolutely loved this recipe. I had a group over for bunko and made this recipe without trying it before. So I was making this with the hopes that it wouldn't flop.....everyone liked them. I used cinnamon covered raisins which I think added a little extra flavor to the scones. I didn't have to use butter, jelly, cream to make them taste better. They were wonderful on their own.

These scones are absolutely heavenly!!...I didnt have lemon with me that day but it turned out really good as well. Great enough to eat it on its own.

We really enjoyed these scones, they're delicious. They're great on their own but next time I'll be serving them with clotted cream. Ann, thanks for sharing a great recipe!
