I also love this recipe and make it often and have done for quite a while now. I now don't bother with the wet mixture and trying to make scones with it but just spoon it into muffin pans heaped up well adding onion, cheese, sundried tomato and parsley or whatever is around. I then freeze them and Hubby has one for morning tea most days. A real favourite.

Hey I like that idea.Dumb question, do you just add the onions, cheese etc into the muffin tin or stir into the scone mix!And do you use raisins or dates as well!

familychch Yes I agree I would not do them again, too bread-like and a little on the crumbly side for us.

I recently made these as date scones. Soaked some dates in some of the milk then added to the mixture with the rest of the milk also added about 1 tsp of cinnamon to the dry ingreds. I soaked the dates overnight as I was making the scones early next morning but maybe a couple of hours may be long enough.

Found this recipe on Sunday and gave them a try.FANTASTIC.In all my 70+ years, I have never been able to make a half decent scone and gave up trying years ago.These came out just wonderfully .Light, fluffy, good flavour and two days later they were still OK after 20 seconds in the microwave!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm sitting here eating one of my first REAL scones I've ever cooked. In the past they have always been like rock cakes, flat and very unappealing no matter what recipe or variation I've used. I found I had to cook these longer than 10 mins though,more like a good 15 but we have a rather small wall oven and it doesn't pump the heat out very well. I did add grated cheese so not sure if that lengthens cooking time or not. These are amazing, light, fluffy scones! Wonderful for idiot cooks like me :-)

Bump! They're wonderful scones & if you omit the egg & just use milk/water/butter you can make a type of damper bread called takakau... Wonderful w/ lashings of real creamery NZ butter of course!

Very good thanks for recipe My scones always turned out small/hardish like American style, "biscuits".These are fluffy, high & soft like the devonshire style ones we used to get at the hospital cafeteria
