I had never made scones before, but after visiting Scotland and Ireland was determined to learn. This recipe is very simple, very tasty. I did use regular sour cream and the recipe worked very well. I tried several different "fruits" such as dried cherries, white chocolate, Heath bar crumbles, etc. this recipe works very well for me and my husband can't seem to get enough! Thanks for sharing your recipe.
