Buttermilk Scones image

I was happy to discover this recipe. The small quantity is just what I was looking for in my quest for recipes for two. Happily, there can be a few left over for a snack later. The nice flavor of these scones makes them a favorite. -Ruth LeBlanc, Nashua, New Hampshire

These scones were a bit dry, but they were still good. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I was so excited to try these scones, but they turned out to be a bit dry. I think I may have overmixed the dough. I'll try again soon and see if I can get them right.
