Thanks for the recommendation harrislucinda.Is the recipe you used the one at:-

http://www.stuff.co.nz/the-press/lifestyle/food/5083052/Whip-up-a-batch

If not, can you please post the recipe - it's always difficult to say 'no thanks' to a "light and fluffy" scone.:-))

I find resting it for 20 minutes after cutting then bake. It makes it light and fluffy. Even the edmonds ones turn out good if I rest them before baking.

if you use buttermilk for the liquid ingredient... you'll ALWAYS have light fluffy scones, which also keep very well too.

Interesting have had this recipe for years, and they are called cheese muffins and i made them in patty pans.Now i am curious what is the difference between scones and muffins.

I would have classed it as muffins too.
