Moderately easy
Really nice scone recipe. They turned out delicious and the whole batch got eaten within the first 10 mins (family of five!). The mixture was very very wet and I could not kneed it so I just spooned it onto the baking paper lined tray- worked out fine! Did anyone else have this problem?

Date scones are always my fave. This is a great mix although I had to add a bit more flour.

Mmmm, these were great! Made about 8 half-fist sized balls, and were simple yet melt-in-your-mouth good.

Made this and produced light fluffy scones for the first time in my life. Usually my scones can be used for batting practise. Absolutely fabulous!!!
