Very yummy! These were incredibly moist and flavorful! The dough was sticky, but I find that some of the best scones start with sticky dough! Thank you!

These scones are very easy to make and turned out very nice! They are very moist and delicious (especially the next day.) I made them twice and will definitely be making them again! The first time I made them, however, I used self-rising flour as called for and they turned out too salty and very puffy. Despite that, they were still tasty, so I made them again with all-purpose flour and had much better results. If you use the self-rising flour, be sure to omit the salt and baking powder.
