I was just looking for something that would match commercial but these exceeded by far! I usually have a terrible time with biscuit-type breads but these scones rose beautifully and are very light. I pulled from the oven three minutes early and they were done but still moist. I stirred the dry ingredients with a whisk, adding 1/4 tsp Penzys baking spice. I I cut in the shortening before adding wet ingredients. I added diced apricots, white chocolate chips, 1/2 tsp almond extract, and 1 tsp orange zest. Thanks for posting; these were much better than any scones I've ever had!

I made this recipe as part of the Pick-a-chef game. This recipe is simply wonderful! I used blueberries, walnuts, and maple flavoring. I also substituted the buttermilk for regular milk with lemon juice to curdle it. YUMMY! Next time I will try it with raisins and almonds, maybe with orange flavor. Thank you for sharing this gorgeous recipe!
