I've never made these myself, but my mom made them for the second time yesterday and I just had to share how much I love them! They're by far the best scones I've ever tasted, and they're so easy to make. She uses soy milk and lemon juice in place of the buttermilk, and they've come out great both times. This recipe is definitely a keeper!
