These are so delightful! I made them as a treat for a mama with a new baby, and she raved about them as well. I did make two changes; I had some fresh peaches that were on their last legs so I decided to make these peach scones. I used a bit more sugar (about 1/4 c) and pressed the peaches into the top of the dough after rolling it into a circle (didn't want to make the dough tough overmixing). Finally, I sprinkled the tops with cinnamon sugar b/c you can never have too much cinnamon . They turned out so yummy--nice and crusty on the outside and tender/buttery on the inside. It was hard to give these away for sure! Note: I used a 2-inch cutter and the yield was 20 scones! Maybe my baking powder/soda were just really good LOL? Also, like Lalaloula I did not use all the liquid called for. Made for Veggie Swap 12.

I made these as a surprise for my sis today, cause she has an exam at uni and they turned out very nice! The directions are very clear and the dough was easy to work with (I did add the liquid little by little, though and had some left). These smell heavenly when baking and mine were done after exactly 15 minutes. I could not resist and had to taste one warm from the oven. YUM is all I can say! The texture is light and fluffy, the crust crunchy and everything else youd wish for in a good scone is there, too. PERFECT! Thanks so much for sharing this tasty treat with us, Katzen! Made and reviewed for our VERY IMPORTANT CHEF (and super duper host) in Veg'n'Swap #12.
