  1. We loved these scones, in fact everyone loved these scones, I need to make more!!! great texture, melt in the mouth. I used a mixture of dried fruit including dried apples and apricots, was very nice. Baked beautifully and they keep well. Thank you, great recipe, made for QUEST 2015 (Canada)
     
  2. I love scones and these were fabulous! They were light and rich, moist but not gummy. I used Trader Joe's Orange Flavored Cranberries for the dried fruit. I ate them with lingonberry jam and whipped cream, while my DH kept it simple with just butter. These will definitely become a fixture in my repertoire of scones!
     
  3. I made this lovely recipe is a half amount with a mix of dried cranberries and dried apple that I chopped. They have a light, tender inside and a lovely crust to make a great bite. I haven't made scones in to long a time and what a perfect welcome back this recipe was. Made for Culinary Quest 2015.
     
  4. Light and fluffy scone these scones have a pleasant flavor. Did cut the recipe in half with no other changes made, for the dried fruit used Sun-Maid Fruit Bits which added a nice mixed fruit flavor. Even cutting the recipe in half had 8 good size scones. Thanks for the post.
     
  5. Lavender, these are some of the best scones that I have ever tried. Your Grandma's recipe is perfection. These scones were everything that you want one to be, light, fluffy,tender and oh so flavorful. I love the flavor that the sour cream brings to the scones, incredible. Made exactly as written, wouldn't change a thing. I used a combination of dried raspberries and dried cantaloupe, they were incredible in the scone. I served the scones warm from the oven, at room temperature and also toasted for breakfast the next day. They were wonderful in all forms, the texture and crumb are perfect. Thank you so much for sharing your recipe my friend. It rocks. Into my keeperbox this goes. Can't wait to have this treat again.
