Delicious! Even though I didn't have the right amount of ingredients as I was trying to convert to cups. So I added brown rice flour and flaxseed meal to make up the missing rye flour at the end when the mix was too liquidy. They taste great even without a glaze, just plain. I can't wait to make them again! Thank you!

I made this the other day. Less sugar and added saltanas. They were such a hit and even good the next day. I’m doing them again today and going to use a banana instead of sugar as another reviewer suggested.

I looooved these. Used a small banana instead of sugar. Will be making again soon. Thanks for sharing

Surprised how good these scones taste. They don't rise much, but this is compensated for by a nutty taste with interesting texture

I made these with butter instead of oil and sultanas instead of sugar. They were delicious, if a little crumbly.
