Wow, these are absolutely delicious! They puffed up beautifully - I must remember next time to separate my wedges more, as they puffed up and joined back together again! No matter, they were still absolutely beautiful! Even my parrots were begging for more! These are definately one of my PAC Fall favourites! Made for PAC Fall 2009 - you were adopted!

Although I bought the wrong yogurt (plain natural) and added 3 tsp vanilla and 3 tsp splenda), this recipe is amazing. I had scones all over England and these are much better. I also used raw sugar to sprinkle on the scones before baking. Now I just need a recipe for the custard.

I loved the texture on these. I ended up having to use cherries, long story, but it all worked out well. The yogurt adds a lot of moisture to the dough and makes it versatile for adding other fruits. Thank you for posting. Made for Spring PAC '09.

This recipe is awesome--even my daughter and hubby who never eat scones gobble them up. I add white chocolate chips and some mexican vanilla and it turns out just delectable.

Fantastic! Light and tender and packed with fresh blueberries. A lovely treat for breakfast, brunch, or anytime. No need for butter or jam. My son loved these which means I'll make them again soon. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Made for PAC Fall 2007.
