  Am having an Afternoon Tea Party in the garden on Sunday and have made 48 of these today. Thus far I'm thrilled with the result but wait to see what freezing will do to them and will definitely warm them up before serving.

  Made one plain batch, one with sultanas and these were the scones I've ever tasted. Got a really great reception from family, and they rose really high.

  Used this recipe to make cheese scones, took out the sugar and vanilla and replaced with grated cheese and mustard powder, excellent. I have just made 240 scones(120 Cheese, 120 sweet) for a caterer who was let down at the last minute. Not a single scone left and everyone commented favorably on them. Got myself a full time job!! Thank you for this excellent recipe.

  Maxine - you don't say how much grated cheese and mustard powder. I am sure I am not the only one who would love to know. Please reveal!

  Made and sampled these a few minutes ago, the baking time needed a bit longer 20 - 25mins, took these out at 20mins and still looked pale but cooked, were light and fluffy would have prefferd them slightly browner (will do that next time) apart from that the otherhalf has nearly polished off the lot so must have been ok!

  I've made these wonderful scones lots of times, but have always found mixing the liquid in difficult. Ended up with flour on floor, shoes, pinny etc. Last time, was in a bit of a hurry, so I thought 'Blow this, I'll mix the liquid in, in the processor.' There was no appreciable difference in the finished result, but SO much easier, and no floury kitchen!

  Best recipe ever... Lovely stretchy dough and very moist. I used 0% fat natural yoghurt and still had a lovely moist texture and a soft flavour. I halved the recipe and made 4 average sized scones and 1 large on :) thank will be teaching someone how to make these.

  I have never been able to make scones and avoided making them But I decided to use this and Jane Hornby's other recipe and each time they come out large light and fluffy. I now pulse up all the dry ingredients with the butter and pop this in a bag together with 85g sultanas in the freezer. When I am in a hurry I just pour the frozen mix out into a bowl and add all the liquids and continue with the recipe. I use an egg wash on the top but sprinkle the tops with Lavender sugar. They turn out beautifully every time. Yummy!!
