  1. Wow! these are so nice, I wasn't sure about the cardamon flavour I thought it might be to overpowering but I was so so wrong. The combination of the lemon and the cardamon was fantastic. I used hemp oil and my own homemade yogurt made with 1% dried skimmed milk and I added lemon extract to it. I also used the splenda and sprinkled the top with brown demerara sugar. They have just the right amount of sweetness, and they were so light and fluffy inside. I do like a nice scone and this is one that I will be making often. I am waiting on my friend visiting and can't wait to see what she thinks about these, I know she will love them. Made for national diabeties month November. 2010
     
  2. These taste wonderful! Next time I'll cut back a little on the cardamom & add more lemon flavor. I used Splenda instead of sugar. These are great with tea or coffee because they aren't too sweet - there is a hint of sweetness (just right, in my opinion). Delicious! I was in a hurry to make these and don't think they turned out as attractive as they could have been, but they sure were tasty! Made for Photo Tag.
