Excellent scones which rose beautifully and were a wonderful light texture. I did everything as directed until step No. 5, where I just patted it down and used a round cutter. I just like round scones. Completely forgot to put them in the freezer, but they forgave me. We had them split with jam and whipped cream.

Another winning MEANCHEF recipe! I made it twice: first time followed the recipe as is - came out perfect. second time, i add some additional brown sugar (almost1/4 cup) and 2 tsp of orange zest - even better! I made good size 8 scones (baked for 10 min. turn off heat, for another 6 min in oven). They are flaky, soft, buttery, and mm-mm good!

I've already made these twice in the past 2 weeks and now I am making them again! I made them for my bible study and another time just for family and everyone loved them. We ate them w/ apple butter! I think this Saturday instead of pancakes for the kiddos were going to have these- Yum! I had bought the large carton of buttermilk since they were out of the small and found this recipe to help use it up, so glad I did! Thanks!!! Oh I did up the sugar about 3 Tbs or so.
