Very nice scones, & I do love those small red berries, whether fresh, frozen or dried! I was very generous with them here, using as I did a rounded half cup, then served the finished treat with some orange butter! Thanks for sharing a very nice recipe!

Big, fluffy scones with a lovely lemony aroma. My dough was very sticky so I just added about 2T. of extra flour and kneaded a bit more. Wonderful for breakfast. 15 minutes cooking time was a bit short for mine so I baked them 5-7 mins more, then left them in the hot oven with the door cracked open. Made for Alphabet Soup tag.
