Kitchen Notes
If the dough is too sticky, add more flour. Also tastes wonderful the next day, toasted with a little cream cheese spread on.
These scones were yummy. My family doesn’t like dates, so I substituted dried cranberries, walnuts and orange zest. The scones were huge and could easily have made 12.
Great, Bessy! We love your substitutions. We will add them to the Kitchen Notes. Did you happen to snap a photo? We’d love to see it if you did!
