Not sure why others have had issues. I chop the berries, then freeze them on wax paper before adding. Perfect every time!

My husband and I love this recipe. The dough was very sticky with all the cream but I just dumped it out on a very floured surface and then sprinkled with more flour before I kneaded and then only kneaded ten times like it stated. I sprinkled more flour on it when it felt too sticky and then once more when I was patting them into the rectangle shape. I agree that half the glaze would have been enough but my husband loved it so much he completely covered his scones. They turned out very light and fluffy for me and I think that is because I didn't over knead. We are definitely making these again.

Very good breakfast treat. Dough does get a little wet after adding strawberries, but just add enough flour to knead together and they come out great. the glaze is fantastic.

These had wonderful flavor, but gave only 4 stars because they were quite sticky and difficult to pat into scone shapes. They had more of a biscuit texture. The icing is scrumptious. Half the icing was plenty to generously drizzle on them! I only had 1/2 cup strawberries as well, so I added 1/2 cup blueberries...yummy!!

These tasted really good and came out light and fluffy. I found this as a last minute recipe that I could use up my left over cream and strawberries-and I wanted something for breakfast. I only had 1/2 cup of strawberries left, so it wasn't as strawberrish as I would like it, but otherwise the scones came out wonderful. Next time I will make sure I have the full cup of strawberries. Also just made half of the frosting and that was enough.

I agree... something is definitely missing with this recipe.. .I'd say another 1 -2 cups of flour, or else a substraction of at least 1/2 cup of that cream! The dough was MUCH too runny... Look at other scone recipes... they'll use only about 2/3 cup cream to 2 cups flour. The liquid ration seems way too high here... Had to keep guessing and adding more flour (and thus keep mixing) so they came out tough, thick, dense and not at all tender and moist. Can't figure out why other people had success... ???

These scones were moist, tender, & delicious, with the glaze adding just the right amount of sweetness. Half the glaze recipe is more than enough. These are definitely going in my recipe binder.

These were excellent! I've made them twice, following the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly.

My scones came out tasting very good. I used only 1/2 of the glaze. My problem was I stored them in an airtight container and they become very sticky. The second moring we had to eat them with a fork. There are better scone recipes out there.

These were AWFUL!!! A complete WASTE of time/effort! I think the creator left something out on PURPOSE b/c they came out flat like a thin cookie, NOT thick & delicious, as pictured in the magazine! The glaze was tasty, but will NOT make again!!

These were delicious. I made half the amount of the glaze and it was more than enough. I'll definitely be making these again.
