These are really outstanding! The amount that it makes is off . I wanted 6 but knew by the amounts that I'd not get that many using the requested 1/4 cup measure so I made the recipe for 10 and got 7 using scant 1/4 cups. I used skim milk, 2 tsps of espresso powder, 2 Tb of heart healthy margarine and 2 TB of canola oil and finally 2 TB of Splenda Brown Sugar. I got lovely scones with a rich but not to strong coffee flavor that developed a love affair with the hazelnuts. What a wonderful combo. Thanks Vic for this keeper. Made for Photo Tag.
