Bizarrely, I took the cheese version of these out of the oven about an hour ago. I can attest they are fantastic to the point of a verbal ‘these are incredible’

Please pass the savory scones. They sound like heaven right now, with a cup of tea. Sigh.

Okay, I have ramps right now and desperately want to make them work for a savory scone... ratios? tips? bad idea? Would keeping dill be "too much?"

Can’t wait to make the berry version for Mother’s Day!

My directions for savory scones steps 3 and 4 are the ones for the sweet scones. Could you please resend the directions for the savory ones? Really just need to know if put cheese in with dry ingredients at the beginning or add with the sour cream/cream. Thanks

My sister and I both pre-ordered your book. She’s a former pastry chef, I’m a newish home cook who never eats or makes desserts.

The first recipe of yours I tried was the savory scones. My sister said, Classic Jean to pick a savory recipe from a dessert book.

Anyway, they were *so good* and *so easy*, even for a beginner baker at 7k feet.

Thanks a bunch.

My mulberry tree is ripe, do you think that would work for these scones?!

I made the sweet version with blackberries and raspberries. The scones came out springy? They tasted good and maybe I was just expecting that crumbly scone texture but I’m wondering if I did something wrong?

I live with a sour-cream-phobe. Would yogurt or buttermilk work instead?

Hi there. These were delicious,, but, they spread so much in the oven for me, not sure what I did wrong. I didn't chill them first, perhaps that's why? My leavening was fresh so I don't think that was the issue.

Has anyone made the scones the night before and baked them the next morning? I know the recipe says you can bake 6-8 hours later, but I’m a little nervous that if I mix them up tonight, it might be over 8 hours by the time I’m able to bake them tomorrow morning.

I’m excited to attempt both versions this weekend for Mother’s Day. Could I make them smaller by cutting the triangles again or would that be a mistake?

My garden is saying rhubarb rhubarb rhubarb. Will rhubarb work?

American living in the UK: good sub for the sour cream = greek yogurt? <3

Still on the post-event high from the Sydney show last night and now devouring my third scone. What a delightful way to spend a Wednesday... You’ve done it again AR! 12/10.

I am assuming it is a misprint that you add raspberries to the savory scones. Again, assuming you add the leeks and onions where it says raspberries. I'll know soon as I'm making them.
