  1. These are perfect..light, tender & had a nice crunch to the outside due to the cornmeal. Love scones & these will be a regular at meal time. Really a pleasant change from rolls & biscuits
     
  2. Light, delicious and melt-in-the-mouth. had these last night with chilli beans. This will be a much used recipe.
     
  3. I gotta agree with Sueie and Iron Bloomers- love the crunchy exterior and the moist delicate crumb. Served this with Muligatawney soup and the family raved. Then I took 'em in a new direction adiing 2t. of lemon zest and 3T. of sugar to the mix. I then served them with Harvest Pumpkin Butter (#71837) at a buffet I catered. They were a hit! Next time I'm gonna try these with lime zest and jalapeno and serve with chili as suggested. Thanks for such a versatile recipe.
     
  4. I added a half cup of sugar, I like them sweet. It took a full 30 minutes. I also used large sparkle sugar on top. Great flavor and texture. I’ll keep this recipe.
     
  5. The scones are tasty and good texture. However my scone was doughy even after I baked in over 30min on 400F. Not sure what did I wrong...
