This is a very good scone recipe. It was not quite as sweet as I like so next time I will just add a little more brown sugar...not much. The texture was scone like. The slight orange flavor was wonderful. I did not have nor could I find the berries required so I used blueberrys which were great.I made this for the october PAC11.Thanks for your 3 recipes

I'm a stay at home mom to 4 young children. As hard as I thought it was to cook for just me, I find it just as difficult to cook for 6!
