Delicious and easy scones! I added 3/4 cup of dried blueberries and a tsp of vanilla for a more decadent scone. I shaped the dough into a round and cut it into 8 triangular pieces. Delish! (Even if I did forget to brush the scones with the water/milk mixture!) Thanks for sharing this recipe! Made for PAC Fall 2009.
