Made for RSC #11. Very good scone recipe. I have never made scones with oatmeal before. I really liked the flavors of the orange, cinnamon and craisins together. I followed the directions exactly, but found that I also needed to add more flour to keep the dough from being too sticky. Overall, a very good recipe with a wonderful flavor.

Five stars. This recipe is deadly to a diet ... I could not stop with just one!! The lovely mixture of flavors and textures made these scones a real treat ... it doesn't hurt that they also have more nutritional value than regular scones. The only alteration I needed was adding five minutes to the baking time and that could be due to variation in ovens. Excellent Recipe - well deserving of five stars!

Delicious! We loved the combination of orange, cranberry, pecans and cinnamon in these scones. These go together fairly quickly and the directions were easy to follow. I would have given this recipe 5 stars, but I found that I had to add almost 1/2 cup additional flour to the dough as it was very wet and impossible to knead as written. I made this recipe twice to be sure that I didn't make an error somewhere. It was the same both times. Once I added the additional flour, the end results were wonderful. We really enjoyed them with our coffee in the morning. Overall, this is a great recipe and I will be making them again. Good luck in the contest.
