The recipe is fine, but it calls for too much baking soda.

This scone recipe by Alton Brown is excellent. Quick and easy to make, they don't have the "heavy" feeling as others do when coming out of the oven. The taste is first rate and when combined with an orange glaze it makes a wonderful change from muffins in the morning. A great family treat!
Yumm!

These are great and easy to make, my only suggestion, bake a bit longer. Also great with a little lemon zest.
They were great but......

Great scones but they need a more heart healthy oil. The shortening is so last generation.
Wonderful and So Easy!

This is a great recipe! Much easier than some scone recipes. I added a pinch of cinnamon to mine, using "Craisins" and it turned out great!
Great recipe

These were excellent scones. The dough was a bit sticky and hard to work with. I would have liked them with more than a handful of fruit, but then again I have somewhat small hands.
The Best Ever!

These are wonderful scones! I recently had a tea party and made them with dried cranberries. No one could stop talking about how good they were. Everyone said they were the best scones they ever had!
Super Easy! Super Yummy!

I've made these twice so far, and both my husband and my baby love them. Instead of fruit, I put chocolate chips, and they won't let me try any cherries or blueberries. Maybe one day... Anyway, definitely a keeper. Great job, AB!

I love these scones, although I have learned that adding all of the liquid caled for makes the dough way too sticky. I actually use the egg as part of the 3/4 cup. Also, I always have to bake the scones longer than called for in the recipe.
YUMMY!!!!!

Super easy, super delicious, foolproof. I get requests for this recipe and people are amazed how moist they are. I don't add any chips or fruit and leave them plain. They are awesome just plain with a little butter or orange jam.

These scones are far better than what are passed off as scones in American coffee houses. I made them for a potluck and everyone raved about them. They were gone in minutes!

This recipe is excellent for someone just beginning to venture into the world of scones. It's simple, easy to follow and wonderful to include additions! My husband makes these with white chocolate chip chunks and dried cherries and it's marvelous!

You guys, there is a reason there are so many terrific reviews of this recipe. IT IS SOOOO DELICIOUS!! I usually hate scones, but I'm probably about to eat all these up before my guest gets here. It is probably the easiest baking recipe I've ever tried. I split the dough up and added fresh blueberries to one and fresh strawberries and cherries to another and they are to die for. Seriously, try this one and see.

In today's life style of low fat and low cholesterol eating, this recipe needs to be updated to vegetable shortening, or light margarine, and skim milk and egg substitutes.

I enjoyed making these scones. The recipe is quick and simple. My homemade lemon curd compliments the scones. I've even tried different variations of this recipe -- I like a more buttery scone. Thank you Alton and I enjoy watching your show.

These scones were ok but when you make it i suggest adding more sugar because it wasn't sweet enough to me at least but besides that the recipe was pretty good.

Melt in Your Mouth Scones

User: Sarah from Madison, WI User Rating:
This is a great recipe and these scones are delicious and easy to make. Not like typical dry scones, these melt in your mouth! I made the batter ahead of time and kept it in the fridge, then made a few when I wanted them (they get kind of dry the next day). The batter is good for about a week in the fridge. I also like to make smaller bite sized scones and use my cookie cutters to make cool shapes.
Easy & tasty

I love Alton, his recipes are easy to understand & follow. I made these for a Bridal Tea and everyone enjoyed them. I added a mixture of dried berries and served devonshire cream and a variety of preserves. There were none left.

Easy to make, fun to eat. Very good scones for my first try. Next week we try and make gluten-free for my son. I used dried blue berries. Next time I would brush some melted butter on the tops to get them a nice golden brown. Thanks Alton!

Excellent, well balanced scones, not too sweet, not too dry. Orange glaze adds a little extra sweetness, lemon can be too sweet.

These were delicious. I split the dough in half and made both plain and raisin variety. My hubby whose had real british scones said they weren't quite right... but I probably just need to work on my technique

I made these for a British friend of mine. I had no idea how they would turn out, since I'd not made anything like them before (other than biscuits, of course). My friend liked them quite a bit, thankfully. I also made some Devonshire Cream to go with them, at his request. lol All in all, everyone was happy.

I am NOT a scone person. My daughter's school does a tea party and I make them each year. This recipe had the teachers raving and asking for the recipes. The kids asked for seconds and everyone was very happy. I added more craisins that suggested and a little extra heaving cream. The results were terrific.

I miss the Irish bakeries in NY, so I decided to give these a try. They are fabulous!(I did bake them a little longer than the 15 minutes, though.) They were a real treat for St. Patrick's Day!

Finally, a scone recipe that doesn't taste like plain old biscuits. I used currents, and served them with English Clotted Cream. I'm going to try blueberry's next.

I've been searching for a scone recipe that made scones that were neither too sweet, nor too bitter and dry and this is the one. While they are sweeter than a "traditional" scone, no matter, they're perfect everytime and delicious. You can mix up the dried fruit and as a previous reader suggested, add lemon or orange zest. AB, you've done it again, this one is a keeper.

I love this recipe! My kids ask me to bake these to eat with breakfast or as an after school snack. To make them a bit lighter, I substitute fat free buttermilk for the cream (same amount), and they come out just as delicate and delicious. Also, I bake them for about 12 minutes at 400 degrees.

I make these scones at least 3 times a week. You can use almost anything in them dried fruit, nuts or whatever. Blueberries are the favorite where I bake. People who "Don't like scones" fall for these.

Easier to make then i thought it would be. I prepared them as part of our Christmas breakfast. I divided the dough in half and used raisins in one half and made the others with some strawberry jam filling. They turned out golden brown and delicious.
