These were fantastic! I left out the raisins & added in about a cup of fresh sliced strawberries. I also topped it with some turbinado sugar. Be sure not to overlook them either.

I've been experimenting with coconut oil, so I substituted half of the margarine with coconut oil. I also found them to be a bit dry, so next time I shall use a bit less flour or a bit more milk I think. The flavour and texture of these scones was delightful though. Sandy like a pastry.

Considering scones are generally a butter heavy item, these are very tasty. I have found them to be a little dry, so I always sprinkle a few extra raisins into the dough, then press two or three raisins into the wedges right before sticking them in the oven.

Very good. Nice and short, like a scone should be. I changed the recipe to make Coconut Cinnamon Scones by substituting coconut for the oats. I divided the recipe into 6 wedges for cafe-size portions.

Today I joined RecipeZaar and have just made these yummy scones. The first one straight out of the oven was a wee bit crumbly; so I wrapped the rest in a tea towel to cool and have just eaten my second one, which wasn't crumbly at all. I might even try a little grated apple in them next time.
