In reply to Donna. I'm sorry to hear this happened, Donna! Did you weigh your flour? Did you make any substitutions? How did your dough compare to mine in the video?

I had the same problem. The dough was so dry.

In reply to Holly. Hi Holly! Are you weighing your flour? Sounds like there may have been just a touch too much in the dough. Glad they were still a hit!

Found the dough to be quite dry/crumbly and added another splash or 2 of the heavy cream.
The dough round also came together a little bit more difficult as well, but still manageable!
Everyone LOVED these and I agree quite delicious.
Would make again.
4.5/5 rating from me!

This recipe is incorrect! It is wayyyy too dry! I think it might be missing an egg or something?

In reply to Denise Lahoski. I'm so sorry to hear this happened, Denise! Is it possible something could have been mis-measured? :(

Why was my mixture so dry after adding the heavy cream? Your video it actually formed up to nearly a ball of dough, and after I added 1/2 c of cream it was still a dry flour mix. Did I do something wrong?

In reply to Emilia. Hi Emilia! Is your baking powder expired or not good any longer? Was the dough over-worked or the butter too warm? You want that butter to stay nice and cold and you want to be careful to not overwork the dough. I would not recommend increase ratios. I hope they turn out better next time. :)

Hi Sam! These scones came out very good but they didn’t rise much. Should I increase the baking powder amount to like a tablespoon? I also doubled this recipe and saved the other half of the scone dough to freeze. Ended up using the other half day after because of how good the were. Just wished they rised more.

These were easy and delicious. I LOVE the way you put the ingredient amounts in the actual directions, makes it so much easier when making! I made them mini and are prefect for tea, snacks or a sweet treat!

In reply to Taylor.

I can’t figure out how to write an individual comment, but I can’t say enough good things about this recipe. It was easy to follow, especially with the video, it included great tips, (hello zesting pro!) I loved that the recipe included the measurements within the steps because I hate scrolling back and forth to ingredients (I know, first world problems!) but most important was DELICIOUS. I made them for a baby shower and they couldn’t have been a bigger hit. Definitely made the mini ones though, and next time I might even divide the recipe one more time to make them cute little bit sized pieces. Thank you!

I have made these scones probably 100x and they’re so addicting. For a long time I didn’t have a food processor so I would do it all by hand- it is doable, but it is a lot more difficult and messy. I’ve also found that adding a dash extra of heavy whipping cream makes the dough a little easier to work with. Finally, if you like them super lemony (like I do, lol), for the icing I just juice one lemon and then add powdered sugar until it gets to the right consistency. I just do lemon juice and powdered sugar for the icing. But this recipe has absolutely been a staple in our house for the past 2 years. I crave them constantly.

These are such flavorful scones! They are dense and moist, unlike some crumbly and dry scones I have had. They are a family favorite. I make them at least once a month! I 100% recommend these scones.
