“Of course, another twist on your fabulous scones.
I took oatmeal scone mix, put half the brown sugar in the mix, folded in cranraisins and chopped walnuts. Then put the rest of the brown sugar on the tops and bake. Crunchy and delicous! Served them this morning to our guests who now live in England. They have access to any number of “cream tea places”. They said they were just incredible!
We thought so too.”

“A worker is replacing the foundation of my garage. He started three weeks ago and I gave him a scone (made from a competitor’s mix). Today, he said, “I like your scones. Would you make me some more?” So, despite being wildly busy, because he asked for it (and the buttermilk I had bought for the first batch of your scones was nearing the expiration date), I stopped what I was doing and made a batch. He said “They’re even better.” (I simply added defrosted frozen blueberries to your oatmeal scone mix.) I myself rated them A+ . I swear.”

“Just made scones. I’ve had scones before and I’ve attempted to make scones before. None of my previous scone experiences have been anything to write home about. Oh my God!!!! These are great! …Can’t wait to try them out on guests in the morning.”

“Your original recipe scone mix is without doubt the best scone mix I have tasted, EVER. My parents were Irish and English and thus I have been raised on scones since childhood. My family has always been critical of scones here in America as they just don’t measure up. Your mix was perfect, easy to prepare and most delicious.”

“I’m not sure we could do Christmas without your scones. I am the manager of a 45 bed Emergency Department and my staff have now become great admirers of your scones. I always take food on the holidays and now they won’t let me come unless I am bringing scones. The most frequent comment is “I usually hate scones…..they are so dry. But these are fantastic! I ate three!!!!!”

“[I made] One batch plain, the second batch with chopped pecans. Slightly but not overly sweet. Crusty outside, soft (but not too soft) inside… These are very good scones…”
…and then later: “I baked the oatmeal scones over the weekend. They are even better than the original ones. DH and I fought over them. Really primo. Many thanks again.”
