Wonderful, homey and delicious! I used turbinado sugar in these. They are not overly sweet, just a pleasant and subtle sweetness. I made 12 scones and calculated the calories to be about 160 each with the larger size and butter counted, assuming food.com's nutrition facts are accurate (?) These would take nicely to a light lemon glaze over the top, too. I will keep this easy recipe handy in the future!

Tender, delicious and half wholegrain! Will definitely make again. I used frozen blueberries that I partly thawed, and I added a tsp or so of lemon extract to boost the flavor. Will definitely make these again.
