Delicious! Very easy to make & in the oven before we knew it. 20 minutes later we were enjoying these moist, sweet scones. After seeing Mary's photo in the PAC thead I knew I had to try them right away. I didn't have buttermilk so I combined 3/4 tsp lemon juice & 3/4 cup milk. I used a dried berry mix (cranberry, strawberry & cherry) & added about a 1/2 tsp pure almond extract. These were divine & a huge hit for my family as a quick brunch treat. Thanks for sharing, Muddyboots! -
I have never made scones in a springform pan. This was quick and easy to do and the scones were were tender. I loved the combination of the white chocolate chips and the cranberries. Made for PAC Fall 2008. -
These were scrumptious for breakfast this morning! Everyone raved! I chopped up white chocolate bar as I didn't have the chips but kept everything else the same. Thank you for sharing! -
I didn't have cranberries so I used dried apricots cut into quarters and plumped. The sugar became Splenda and for the butter I used 2 tbsp of "healthy fat" margarine and made up the rest of the 1/2 cup with unsweetened applesauce. The dough is soft and fluffy. I chose to cut the dough into 16 squares because the wedges will be huge. The scones are delicious and perfect with Oolong tea. Thank you for sharing this great recipe.
