I tried this recipe with 1 cup pastry flour and 1 cup all purpose flour, and they are SO LIGHT AND TENDER!!! Just amazing!!!
I also used 1 cup frozen blueberries…placing them on top before each fold over.
Fantastic recipe.
Thank you

Hi Natalie! I have not personally tried these with pastry flour. Let me know how it turns out if you do try it. 🙂

These scones turned out wonderful! My husband and friends loved them and asked for the recipe! Thanks!

Oh no! I’m glad you were able to remake these and enjoy them! 🙂

Made my first batch and just when I was ready to put them in the oven I realized I had forgotten the baking powder! Second batch, with the baking powder and frozen strawberries chopped up came out beautiful and delicious! Worth the extra time and effort after my first attempt

We’re so glad you enjoyed it, Kris! That will work just fine; you may need to adjust bake time a little bit 🙂

I do have a silly question though, can these be made into rounds instead of the triangular shape?

I don’t like using the rolling pin because it can smash the dough a little bit more than intended. You can watch how I put the dough together in the video if that helps. 🙂

you know, I’m not sure if I did 5 laminations. I probably only folded it two, maybe three times for fear of overworking it. I’ll try that.
as far as rolling it, I user the rolling pin lightly to smooth it into shape without pressing on it too much. is using a rolling pin bad because it can make it too thin even when done carefully?

Hi Amy! That is disappointing to hear! I just want to make sure you aren’t rolling it out with a rolling pin? Are you doing the 5 laminations? You should end with a disc that is about an inch tall and 6 inches around. You want to be careful to not over-work it while doing the laminations. I hope this helps!

My dough did not clump either. I will try again. I measured flour, but will weigh next time.

Okay, I’ve used this recipe approximately 4 times, and I love the texture, moisture, and subtle sweetness of these scones. most of all, I love that they are so easy and customizable.
however, I cannot get these scones to puff anywhere near as tall as the pictures in the recipe suggest. I made sure the butter was really cold, used a weighing scale for the measurements, checked my oven temperature, and I made sure that I rolled the dough out to be about an inch to 3/4 inch thick. They just don’t rise anymore than a 1/4. Can I get some feedback?

First time making scones and this was so easy! I decided to do lemon scones and they are so flavorful and soft. I will definitely be making these again with different add-ins.

That’s very odd, Lila! Did you weigh your flour? Is your oven temperature accurate? If they were still raw in the middle this could have potentially caused the deflation. 🙁

Same thing happened to me when I was mixing, where no dough clumped together so I added 2T of additional cream until it barely clumped. Inside wasn’t completely set after 16 minutes either. Not sure what went wrong.

Delicious Scones! I do all varieties. I am hostessing a Tea for an Assisted Living Residence today using the Best scone recipe.

I have not personally tried cherries, but I don’t think there would need to be any alterations. Enjoy! 🙂

Great recipe. I just tried for first time. one batch of blueberry lemon. Another with freeze dried strawberries. Gave both a drizzle. Rose beautifully. Great texture.

I only just started making scones last month, after getting a pastry cutter for Christmas. Tried a few recipes that resulted in mediocre scones (not bad for a first effort, but not outstanding). I just gave this recipe a try yesterday, using frozen mixed berries, and the lemon glaze from your Triple Berry Scone recipe, and it made some AMAZING scones. This will be my go-to from now on!
