Customer Reviews

Absolutely Wonderful
Every recipe I have tried from this cookbook has been fantastic. There are some wonderful combinations such as orange and chocolate scones. The directions are easy, the ingredients are usually common items that are easy to find and all the recipes I have tried turned out yummy.

Although it is a small book, in size, it is not small in yumminess or easiness. I have to admit that scones have become a staple in our house, due in a large part, to this book.

Enjoy.

Scone heaven
This is my favorite scone cookbook (I have several) and it is dog-eared, flour stained and remains to this day one of my most often used books. I bought the book not knowing how to make scones and found the directions easy, the ingredients readily available and every recipe has turned out delicious. From working with this book I have also learned the basics of scone cookery and have gone from a rank beginner to being able to create my own scone recipes easily. Buy it! You will not regret it.

Perfect scones!
I've made about 10 of the recipes out of this book, and each one came out perfectly. If you've only experienced dry-as-sawdust "scones" at trendy coffee shops, but this book and be pleasantly surprised at what scones are REALLY like. Some of the scones are beyond rich (like the Brownie Scones), but every batch I've tried so far from this book has turned out buttery, tender, and utterly irresistable. Try the Classic Cream Scones first and then go from there.
