[...] My brother Tom doesn’t swing from apple trees anymore (at least, I don’t think he does) and, while my parents long ago moved away from the site of that particular tree, there is another in its place. [...]

Mrs Ergül: I don’t find the baking powder overpowering in this case – though I guess tastes, flours and powders can vary, so it’s probably something that you have to try for yourself to really know

GrilledShane: definitely much more like your US biscuits than hockey pucks :D

Tangled Noodle: I had to stop ordering scones when I was in the US because they were never close to what I actually wanted, which was something more like these guys; as for the apprenticeship, if that meant you taking a trip over here, why then I’d be all for that!

Sophie: thanks – a nice scone with butter, jam and a cup of tea is a perfect morning treat in my book

French Cooking for Dummies: hope the recipe works out for you!

I love scones but the ones I tried to make always end up being very dry :-( I’ll give your recipe a try, it looks excellent!

These are definitely superior scones to the true charlatans of this story: the brick-like-in-texture-if-not-in-shape baked triangles so common here. Your brother sounds like a true ‘scone-mason’. I’ll attempt these myself but if they don’t turn out, would Tom consider taking on an apprentice?

These DEFINITELY do not look like the scones I am used to. Those are like hockey pucks that I would prefer to hit with a stick then stick in my mouth. As Jenni said, these look much more like biscuits and much more appetizing.

Hi! I had been on the lookout for a good scone recipe until I found the one that worked for me. Even then, sometimes I feel that the taste of baking powder is too strong. With the use of both baking powder and self-raising flour, will the taste of baking powder be too overpowering??
