Country Fair Scones Aka Elephant Ears image

We use to sell these at our county fair every summer as a youth fund raiser. We served them the traditional way with sugar and cinnamon, but also with homemade huckleberry jam, or powdered sugar and butter, or homemade maple frosting, ext... They pair well with soup or chowder, sometimes we make them just for dessert. This recipe makes enough for a crowd (it is the original so it had to be big) but can be a 1/2 batch easily.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my scones turned out really dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

These scones were a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I was a bit skeptical about trying this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of scones, but I was pleasantly surprised. These scones are so light and fluffy, and the glaze is the perfect amount of sweetness.

These scones are delicious! I love the way the glaze soaks into the dough and makes it so moist. I also appreciate that this recipe doesn't require any special ingredients.
