Another outstanding vote from me. I just love the lemon in this recipe. I trimmed the fat and sugar by replacing the sugar with Splenda, using 2 scant Tbsp of a heart healthy margarine, using egg white only and fat free coffee creamer for the double cream. My jam was no added sugar raspberry. I made it in one whole piece and baked that for 25 mins because I pressed the dough into an 8" circle on a Silpat like mat and didn't want to cut on that. Wonderful!

These ar excellent! I used stawberry jam inside these for a lovely treat. The only "issue" I had was the jam seeped out bit, but that was because I was a bit over zealous with the jam. I did not knead the dough to even close to 1 minute to since I hear that over kneading scone dough can lead to dense and heavy scones. I just folded the dough over a few times and preceded with the rest of the recipe. It was a bit sticky and it was kinda hard to transfer them, but it was well worth it!
