Buttermilk Scones

I love this recipe it’s perfect. Thank you very much for sharing this recipe.

I made these for the first time because I wanted to use up the rest of the buttermilk I had bought to make Irish soda muffins for Saint Patrick’s day dinner. I followed this recipe however I didn’t have any fresh fruit to add so I added 1 cup of chocolate chips, I also substituted the flour for gluten free flour, added 1/4 cup of maple syrup because we make it ourselves and my husband says I have to put it in everything so I do but it always does add natural sweetener to it. I did not do the last steps of placing the dough in flour surface and shaping and cutting them. I just scooped them with a spoon into equal pieces and put them on PAM sprayed cookie sheets, made about 10 scones this way. I think the recipe is meant to be for savory scone so adding the chips, syrup made them sweeter but they do still taste like they are missing sugar in them for them to be a sweet scone.

First time trying this recipe and I found it really easy and quick to do. I really liked the flavor and I’m going to enjoy trying different variations.

Easy recipe. Light, flaky results. Used a roll & cut mat for measurements and parchment paper for baking. In my oven 10 min resulted in golden brown bottom. Great with orange marmelade!

This is a basic recipe, but it’s a good one. These were very simple to make, and came out moist and fluffy. Since it’s plain, it pretty much tastes like a biscuit, which is how I served it. I basted the tops with butter when they were fresh from the oven and served them warm with homemade jam. If you’re looking for something with a little more substance, I think this could easily be adapted for additions.

I made this recipe as is. Honestly, I found this recipe totally bland. The amount of baking powder also seemed excessive, while the amount of salt seemed too little for the amount of flour. The texture was closer to a biscuit than a scone. The recipe might need some serious tweaking to first get the texture right. Then, it could be used as a base for the scone of with your favorite flavoring. As is, it will likely work only with a spread of fruit preserves.

Easy basic scone recipe! Can add whatever you like to the dough. I used two teaspoons of baking powder instead of what the recipe says. I think that is a error. Also used parchment paper and clean up is almost nothing! Recommend this basic recipe and look forward to creating different flavors of scones!

Exactly what I was hoping for! A nice basic scone to use up some buttermilk and make strawberry short cake with. I followed the recipe exactly except brushed with butter and sprinkled with sugar before baking.

Followed the recipe as stated but added 1tbs grated lemon grind and 1/4 cup dry cranberries. Even though the scones came out ok, they were rather bland.

Very nice method, easiest scones I’ve ever made and among the best. Light and moist. A great basic recipe for “dressing up” with inclusions (I did maple walnut and dried blueberries) and adapts nicely to 1/3 whole wheat/spelt flour.

I gave this recipe a lower rating because it tastes like a biscuit not a scone. Big difference. I made clotted cream to go with them but it doesn’t meet my expectations. I will save this recipe and rename it as a great basic biscuit recipe. I added vanilla, blueberries, dried cranberries and some shredded coconut.

this was such a great, simple recipe for scones! no heating frozen butter or kneading- 20 minutes from start to finish! I added cinnamon and mini cinnamon chips and my picky 11 year old loved them.

It was my first time making scones and they reminded me more of a biscuit. My boyfriend enjoyed it, saying it reminded him of a MCDonald’s biscuit. I did add blueberries into the mix, and it was my fault for not adding some sugar in. It came out dry and tart, and that isn’t necessarily how I envision scones. I’m not knocking on this recipe, since each person taste buds are unique. I think going into my next batch, probably would add vanilla & sugar, and obviously change it accordingly.

These are delicious! I added raisins because I like them but other than that these stand on their own quite nicely. Thank you.

This is a good basic recipe. I made it twice. Once with no sugar added and once with a third cup sugar. I added currants and walnuts both times. I like it better with the sugar but that is a personal preference. Easy to make and little clean up!

Needed sugar in the recipe. Tasted like a heavy biscuit to me. Very bland. I would add at least 1/2 cup sugar.

This recipe is the best! It is wonderful either in large triangles or snacking size. I had to add a few scoops more flour for it to be thick enough to not spread during baking but it turned out beautifully. No other changes were made. Thank you for this recipe. Happy Baking!

If I made these again I would add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the recipe. I drizzled an icing on them which helped with the flavor. My family felt that there was too much baking powder taste coming through. Crasins added some flavor. Also, the addition of brushing them with beaten egg before baking would give them some color.

I like sweet scones, so added about 1/4C white sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon and reduced baking powder from 2Tbsp to 2 heaping tsp. Came out well! Good way to use up buttermilk.

I just used some stuff I found in my (minimally stocked) fridge and added that. Stuff being garlic, which I toasted, gruyere/cheddar cheese, and Thai sweet chili sauce. I cut the dough into smaller pieces than recommended and used a little more buttermilk as the dough was quite dry. The scones are light and crispy. When paired with mighty triumvirate of the nutty toasted garlic, the sweet chili sauce, and the salty gruyere, they’re not going to last long.

Super bland, and I added 3.5T sugar to the flour mixture after reading reviews. I mixed in chocolate chips but the dough itself is very tasteless. Came out somewhat doughy-dense. I drizzled with a confectioners sugar chocolate glaze and it still was just OK.
