  Excellent recipe. These are the best scones I've ever made and so quick and easy to do.

  The consistency of these scones was fabulous, really light and airy. However, I found them incredibly (and unnecessarily) sweet. I shall certainly try them again, perhaps with half the amount of sugar, although I'm not sure they even need that. The vanilla flavour was a nice twist, but again, a little too strong, and I think I'll just use a few drops next time.

  I made one batch with sultanas and one batch with cherries. I added the cherries in with the sugar as suggested then carried on with the recipe - the blender pulsed the cherries into such tiny pieces that they were just speckled with pink. This didn't happen with the sultanas as I forgot them so just stirred them in after tipping the mix into the bowl. The sultana ones were great - the cherry ones tasted ok but looked a bit of a mess. Not the best recipe.

  Lovely and light. I don't have a food processor so softened the butter and just mixed it in well with dried ingredients and they were excellent. Peacocks problem with the cherries (above) wouldn't occur using this method.

  I just spent half an hour with a non-cooking 11 year-old and we produced a seriously good result despite some rough handling of the dough! A perfect start for a beginner. Thanks

  I have been making scones since I was about 10 or 11..about 50 years! I have used many different recipes with good and bad results, but my search is over..this is the only recipe I need..I also do not have a processor, and just rubbed the butter in, then added the fruit. I also made plain ones, and they were brilliant. I used Aldi's flour, yogurt and butter. the sweetness is just right for me, and I don't like too sweet a scone..we are all different..

  The worst scone mix i think i've tried, it was easy to do and they came out looking fab but the taste results were disappointing, rather dry i thought.

  Lovely scones but I took CFL recipes tip and halved the sugar and they turned out fine. However, I only got 5 scones from the recipe and it says it should make 9. They were very tall though :)

  My scones are usually like bricks, but this recipe worked perfectly. I made these by hand (no food processor), they were really quick and came out very light and fluffy. Very nice served with cream cheese and bramble jelly.

  I have made scones using various recipes. This is the best ever. I made them with my 3 year old grandson and they still turned out great. He loves them! I've tried them plain and with raisins and sultanas. I'm going to try them with dates and with cheese and a little mustard.
