I made quite a few changes, but still wanted to leave a note about these delightful scones. I used spelt flour instead of all-purpose, an olive oil based butter and oats. The buckwheat flavour came through SO nicely! and I loved the texture of the oats. Next time I will absolutely use granola. I imagine a granola with a lighter flavour and not to many add-ins. Thanks

I love buckwheat pancakes so I thought I'd give these a try. My husband and I enjoyed these scones (they were a little to hearty for the kids). They are dense in texture but they do rise nicely.I did use shortening since I was out of butter, reg. flour, and maple extract. I made a maple glaze to top and it was a perfect touch. Thanks Roosie, for posting. Roxygirl
