Hi Susan,

Thanks so much for the recipe, and happy Valentines Day. Just wondering if there’s a button to click to go from measurements in grams to cups? Don’t have a scale that sensitive over here.

Noone made me scones when I started or graduated from Berkeley! Maybe I’ll just have to make some for myself…sigh, or find some new aunts.

I have got to do some intense exercising so I can start baking. This site has made me crave bread! I can almost smell the bread!

Tanna, glad to see you back!

mercurius, yes this is quite a wet dough. Make sure you use plenty of flour on the counter, as well as on your hands and the dough cutter (works much better than a knife). Also use a very light touch when handling the dough with your hands. You can add more flour but this will make the scones drier.

Thanks for this great recipe. I made it this afternoon and the scones are delicious and very light. The dough was very wet & sticky though and there was no way I could cut it. Is there something missing?

Thanks,

mercurius

Gorgeous color Susan, they look like all a scone should be. I’m not a fan of the dry scone I find in most places so that “ighter, moister, less crumbly” sounds like just perfect to me. And there’s plenty of healthy in the cranberry and oats!!

Kim, I agree, I love them, though don’t make them often.

Amy, Eileen: I just got the Tartine book and haven’t made anything (els) from it. That will change soon, though.

Lena, that’s a little beyond my scope, and my recipe really didn’t end up looking much like either of those anyway, when all was said and done. A Google search turns up lots of buttermilk scone recipes, though.

Jacqueline, I’ve been looking for ways to incorporate sourdough into more things, so it seemed like a natural thing to try.

rainbowbrown, will we be seeing some scones from you soon? (I hope)

Kristine, I hope you will enjoy!

Erin, thanks!

kelly, I imagine you’ll get around to it eventually

Laura, good idea!

farida, I agree, oats make everything more delicious and healthy.
