Simply Scones: Quick and Easy Recipes for More than 70 Delicious Scones and Spreads

Does this book use pastry flour?

This is my favorite scone cookbook (I have several) and it is dog-eared, flour stained and remains to this day one of my most often used books. I bought the book not knowing how to make scones and found the directions easy, the ingredients readily available and every recipe has turned out delicious. From working with this book I have also learned the basics of scone cookery and have gone from a rank beginner to being able to create my own scone recipes easily. Buy it! You will not regret it.

Every recipe I have tried from this cookbook has been fantastic. There are some wonderful combinations such as orange and chocolate scones. The directions are easy, the ingredients are usually common items that are easy to find and all the recipes I have tried turned out yummy. Although it is a small book, in size, it is not small in yumminess or easiness. I have to admit that scones have become a staple in our house, due in a large part, to this book. Enjoy.

Great book at a great price. I have made the blueberry lemon, raisin bran & orange poppy seed scones. I put the delicious topping from the blueberry lemon on all of them. YUMMY!! They were all easy to make. I look forward to making more varieties. This is a must have for anyone who loves scones.

I've made about 10 of the recipes out of this book, and each one came out perfectly. If you've only experienced dry-as-sawdust "scones" at trendy coffee shops, but this book and be pleasantly surprised at what scones are REALLY like. Some of the scones are beyond rich (like the Brownie Scones), but every batch I've tried so far from this book has turned out buttery, tender, and utterly irresistable. Try the Classic Cream Scones first and then go from there.

I searched high and low for a book on scones, and finally found this one a few years ago. Since then, it has been used frequently. I have tried many of the recipes in it, and without exception have found them to be delicious. The book also contains recipes for spreads you can use on scones. I would highly recommend it for anyone who loves scones.
