WOW!!! These scones are just like you said: Lovely moist and fluffy on the inside with a crunchy crust on top. Mmm, the taste is really nice, too! Your directions were easy to follow and the dough perfect to handle. THANKS SO MUCH for sharing this wonderful recipe with us! Made and reviewed for one of my preemies during PAC Fall 09.
