Buttermilk Scones image

I was happy to discover this recipe. The small quantity is just what I was looking for in my quest for recipes for two. Happily, there can be a few left over for a snack later. The nice flavor of these scones makes them a favorite. -Ruth LeBlanc, Nashua, New Hampshire

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my scones didn't rise very much. They were still tasty, but they were a bit dense.

These scones were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more buttermilk next time.
