Thank you- they are delicious!

We make them frequently, most often with frozen berries, and they are quite decadent.
I am in the midst of making several batches for an upcoming work meeting, and will be trying some of the new flavor combos I discovered in these comments here.
This has been a fail-proof recipe for me, and I can't thank you enough for sharing it!

I just finished reading your book and loved every minute of it.

I knew I had to try these first and they were fantastic! I had prepared myself for a mess since I didn't heed your advice & used some strawberries from the freezer on my first attempt but it was a manageable mess, lol! I used a silicone mat to knead and pat out the dough which I think helped. I was counting out my “kneads” and twelve was perfect!

The “winning hearts and minds cake” will be next for my chocolate addicted boyfriend. 😉

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and recipes with all of us, I appreciate you!

They are good but strangely remind me of a baked pancake. I'm partial to the ginger scone recipe from A Homemade Life. I made those several times and only got 1 as my proud husband passed them out to all of our friends. Love the idea of frozen fruit, but I'll stick to dry ingredients… not sure if it's worth the sticky mess.

All I added were chocolate ships. I weigh my flour instead of measuring, as I've found that organic all purpose tends to pack heavily. Also duck eggs have been available locally recently so I used one of those. Anyway, LOVE the recipe and can't wait to try some other flavor additions. Thank you for posting this!

I read your book until the wee hours of this morning. Your writing has such grace, humor, and authenticity. I grew up in a cooking and eating family. My mother has a substantial vegetable garden, which has nurtured my love for all things green. I am now a novice cook, and cannot wait to make these scones! I am so tempted to go with strawberries on the first round… Thank you for your delicious words and food.

(I've also recommended the book to about 12 friends.) I subbed whole wheat pastry flour for all the white flour and used orange zest, nutmeg and dried blueberries instead of lemon zest and ginger. They were heavenly, and I can't wait to try some of the other variations here! Thanks, Molly!
