“You can use any dried fruit for these tender scones, but my favorite is a mix of dried cranberries and golden raisins,” says Della Dunsieth of New Castle, Pennsylvania. “Don’t overmix or you’ll have a hard, dense scone.”

I followed the recipe just as it is and these scones are just delicious! Much better than the ones I've bought at fancy places!

I will try to make it again with some nuts and chocolate.

These scones are super flakey and delicious. I added a few dark cholcolate chips to mimick the ones I get at an expensive pastery/coffe shop...these are even better, warm, buttery and not too sweet. And this recipe makes just a few so MAYBE I won't be as tempted to over indulge.
