I did these a little spontaneously so I had to make some adjustments:<br /><br />1. I don't own a pastry cutter so I cut the butter in little pieces and freezed it together with the dry ingredients and then combined things by hand. That way I didn't have problems with the butter warming up too much<br /><br />2. I didn't have sour cream so I used yoghurt as someone commented. <br /><br />3. Instead of raisins I used dried pineapple but twice of what the recipe asked for and added some lemon and orange zest for flavor. <br /><br />The dough was extremely sticky. It might come from the cup to gram conversion of the flour, since I live in the metric system. However it wasn't a problem. I just scooped dallops onto the baking sheet without folding or kneading by hand. They turned out wonderfully fluffy and delicious and were already requested for the next birthday. Definitely a keeper!roeclahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02474564095638310245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-53695979940462736212013-11-16T01:43:37.726-05:002013-11-16T01:43:37.726-05:00My scones tastes like pancake...why not crispyMy scones tastes like pancake...why not crispyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841444151591100737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-23406392667435419682013-10-05T15:13:45.706-04:002013-10-05T15:13:45.706-04:00These scones are light years better than anything ...These scones are light years better than anything from the store.

I had to add less baking powder though, otherwise it would be very bitter...<br />One question I have is regarding smoking point of butter. I experience A LOT of smoke coming up, when baking at 400 degree (googled and I think its because of the butter). Is there a solution to this problem? Thank you.

They were so good I made them again today. Unbelievably easy and delicious.<br />Ailey and anon-- If you don't have a pastry mixer on hand my aunt would "cut" the butter in with two knives like you would cut with a knife and fork. I just used my food processor and pulsed til grainy, like in Chef John's pie crust video. Personally much easier that way, but I mix the rest of the way by hand, as over mixing is a killer for scones biscuits and other pastry, like Chef John says.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04370525873873070622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7173052990851751381.post-60435314216036508182011-11-07T02:32:58.945-05:002011-11-07T02:32:58.945-05:00Wow!!

For my purposes I, like anonymous, would like to know what other tool could substitute for the pastry cutter (besides hands), although that gadget sure did look fun.<br /><br />We didn't have currants and I didn't want to use raisins so I looked up a recipe for cranberry orange scones and we made the necessary substitutions and additions and they turned out fabulous. <br /><br />What a great discovery Food Wishes is.
