Made this recipe pretty much as given, but I did use butter instead of the Smart Balance & was also generous with the amount of orange zest used! Loved the flavor combo from the cherries & zest, as well as from the 3 flours that were used! Very, very nice, & definitely a winner! Thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed in 123 Hits recipe tag]

First I want to say that the scones taste great. There are, however, a few discrepancies. The ingredients and the directions. The ingredients list oat flour (I used white), and yogurt that aren't mentioned in the directions. I know that the yogurt replaces the original buttermilk but someone else might not. I left the cherries large just because I like a real bite of cherry :D and cut them into rounds. Yummmmm

I live in Knoxville, TN with DH, my beautiful son, and the most spoiled cat on the planet! I grew up in Cincinnati and landed in TN by way of Bloomington, IN and Santa Fe, NM. Needless to say, it's been a long, strange trip!!
To explain the name: I was veg for 11 years, vegan for 1. In the last year or so I started eating poultry and fish again, but my brother-in-law's nickname for me (smelly vegetarian) has always stuck.
Also...thanks a million to my Zaar fairy godperson :)!!!
