Walnut Raisin Scones

"A good choice for breakfast, brunch or tea. Contain little sugar because sweetness comes from the raisins. Walnuts and lemon rind provide crunchiness and tang. Wonderful served warm and spread with butter and honey or jam."

Didn't add the lemon zest, but did add an extra 2 Tbsp. of sugar to the batter. These were wonderful - will definitely make these again!

These scones are absolutely delicious! All family and friends that have sampled these love them and ask for more. I made them exactly like the recipe says.

I've baked a lot of scone recipes, and this is one of the best. I buy lemons or sale and freeze the juice in ice cubes in 1 tlbs. amounts. I didn't have the lemon zest this recipe called for, so...

Definitely a good choice. I made it for Mother's Day, and everyone wanted seconds- including my father, who never eats scones. They were easy to make and tasted delicious. Definitely don't sk...

Delicious. As good as any scones I had in England. Made them just like the recipe says. Wish I could get clotted cream to put on them instead of butter.
