This recipe is great. Light fluffy scones and quick & easy. Best scone recipe I have tried in a long time. Thanks

My mom swears that not only are these the most amazing biscuits she has ever tasted, but found that they were just about the easiest to make, too! We had to use the whole 1 cup of yogurt. Absolutely melt-in-your-mouth!

This is my first time to make scones and I used shredded gouda cheese, sauteed onions and some garlic powder but otherwise followed the recipe. One guest called them "addicting"! I baked them on Silpat and they turned out great.<br/> Thank you.

Another AWESOME recipe! I used wheat flour and it was perfect! I did bake it longer than suggested like some others have mentioned. Nice and crunchy on the outside but soft and fluffy on the inside! :)

These are great- nice and easy to make. We baked this on parchment paper, which was helpful in getting them off of the pan. We also like to add a bit of sage and other herbs to give it a bit of extra flavour.
