Mmm, these scones are so good! They rise perfectly, have a lovely flaky texture and the taste is super yummy! These bring back fond memories of holiday season with their gingery, cinnamon flavour. Yum! I too made half the recipe, which gave me 4 scones, that werent around for long here. ;) THANKS SO MUCH for sharing these gems with us, Julie! I enjoyed them a lot! Made and reviewed for the Aussie/NZ Swap September 09, Group Hakea.

Excellent quality scones. The texture is marvelous with a crisp thin crust with a light crunch while the inside is light, moist and very tender. I made a half a recipe for 4 lovely scones and used a tsp of cinnamon and added 1/4 tsp of vanallin, 1/4 tsp of mace. Skipped the egg yolk and used just the white along with skim milk to trim the fat as much as possible. Outstanding. Made for Photo Tag.

Did as suggested & made a double batch, intending to freeze some, but then, as is my nature, I shared them with family & friends! Definitely have to make another double batch, & soon! I enjoy both scones AND gingerbread, but have never had the two as one, so to speak! THESE ARE EXTREMELY GOOD, & the recipe a definite KEEPER! Thanks for sharing!
