WOW! These are some of the best scones I have tried. So light and fluffy. Not doorstops like some of the coffee shop scones. Great flavor. I added about 1/2 tablespoon chopped, candied ginger also. Mixed dry ingredients and butter in food processor until crumbly and put that into a bowl and then mixed in wet ingredients. Easier to get the butter evenly distributed that way. Made for My 3 Chefs game.
