Fair Scones image

A hallmark of the Puyallup and Evergreen State Fairs in Washington State. Now you can make them at home any time of year. Just like at the fair, they are best served hot, with butter and raspberry jam.

These scones were amazing! I've never had scones before, but I will definitely be making them again. They were so easy to make, and they turned out perfect. I can't wait to try different variations, like adding chocolate chips or fruit.

I'm not a huge fan of scones, but I thought I'd give these a try. I was pleasantly surprised! They were much better than I expected. They were light and fluffy, with a slightly sweet flavor. I served them with butter and honey, and they were deliciou

These scones were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding a bit more milk next time. Otherwise, they were very good. I especially liked the crispy exterior.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my scones turned out a bit flat. I'm not sure what I did wrong. Maybe I didn't mix the ingredients together well enough? I'll try again soon and see if I can get them right.
