Loved the final product although I note that salt is not mentioned in the list of ingredients but in the instructions. Also I normally cook scones at 200-210 and I stuck with 180 as in this recipe and they did not cook so I had to turn it up and added nearly 10 mins. But in the end they are very nice scones.

simple recipe..... but my scones were moist to the point of glugginess when bitten and chewed. not nice at all. Could it have been the quality of flour ? (organic 'macro' woolworths) or the quantity of buttermilk.

SOOO YUMM!!! Didn't have maple syrup, so I substituted honey. Perfect!

I've never made scones with plain flour before and I admit, I was skeptical. But these have to be the easiest, lightest and tastiest scones I have ever made. I really recommend this recipe.
