Very good scone recipe! They came out very moist not dry. Very tasty! I would highly recommend to all scone lovers!
these were OK but they could've been better....
This is by far the best scone recipe I have found. Substitute raisins soaked in orange juice for the cherries. Yum
I work in a commercial kitchen and used this recipe (I scooped it instead of rolling it out - very easy!) It was very nice. The maple flavoring is good and I used craisins instead of cherries. It would also be nice w/ apples...
Wow! These scones are amazing! I'm not sure what it is but they have this "taste" to them that is totally amazing! Perhaps it is the unsalted butter...or maybe the maple extract? Whatever it was these scones smelled heavenly while they were baking and taste even better! I didn't have any cherries so I used sweetened dried cranberries instead. I will be making them again and might substitute chopped pecans for the dried cherries. Oatmeal Maple Pecan scones; what can top that?!
These are simply perfect. I had to add just a bit more buttermilk to make the dough workable (no more than a tablespoon or so) and I didn't have maple flavoring so I left it out. Will definitely make again.
These are yummy! yes the dough is very sticky I ended up adding aboutt 1/3 flour to mine. But the trick really is to make sure you turn it out on a well floured surface and sprinkle it liberally with flour before trying to roll or press it out. When cutting them I also found it helpful to dip my knife in flour between each cut. These are definitely worth making! They are wonderful with Apple Butter!
I added dried apricots and apples instead. To me these were just okay. I prefer Starbucks scones! This dough was really really sticky and I thought they would have a more buttery taste. I didn't have maple flavoring so I added extra vanilla. Maybe that had something to do with it. I decided to chill the dough after putting it together and I was able to handle it better otherwise it stuck to my hands and was impossible to knead.
These turned out light and delicious. The maple flavoring is subtle. When kneading and forming them they were a sticky mess to handle. I just added more flour and persevered in getting them on the parchment paper. They baked up beautifully. To enjoy them the next day I just zap them in the microwave for a few seconds to warm them up.
This was a very sticky and unmanagable dough even after adding extra flour to it I would not use this recipe again.
