Great scones. I like the wet mix for creating breadcrumbs, I used golden syrup instead of honey and added an extra tbsp of oil and syrup to get more of a breadcrumb as it seemed a bit dry and fine to start with. Rose well and couldn't help eating two while they were still warm ?

Just eaten one of my new scones. Lovely but very crumbly which is probably down to me as the mixture seemed too dry so I added a bit more milk and about a tbp of Greek yoghurt. I also added a few gratings of cheddar. Nice flavour. I will experiment.

I've just cooked these for the first time, using non dairy oat milk. Otherwise followed the recipe. Delicious with a hint of toffee (must be the honey) and crunchy. Don't expect them to rise much though. There is a touch of baking powder in the after taste though. Overall, I will be making these again, for sure.

I have just made these scones but added 2 extra tablespoons of organic milk. My husband and I have just tasted and think they are lovely. Texture light and very tasty NO FUNNY TASTES Will definitely use this recipe again.
Dear Sonya, thanks so much for your feedback. We have since amended the quantity of the milk and thank you for bringing this to our attention. Best wishes, Doves Farm.

Fennel and sundried tomato Thank you Doves Farm I made savoury scones using fennel, I just missed out the honey and added extra olive oil, fennel, sundried tomato and seasoning. GREAT with soup.

Was a bit unsure after reading the previous reviews but used level tablespoond and these taste great! I also used wholemeal spelt instead of white.
