Made these to share with my son & his wife, & I'll certainly be making the recipe again, 'cause these scones are wonderfully delicious! As usual when a recipe calls for a citrus zest, I was generous with the amount! Also used the very moist large Medjool dates that I almost always have around! A very nice keeper of a recipe, for sure! Thanks for sharing it! [Tagged & reviewed in Make My Recipe tag]

Yum!!! Made for DH and DS who both kept saying they were good. Made as written. Am looking forward to making again once my cold is gone as this combo sounds like one I would love as much as DH and DS did. Thanks so much for the post.
