Scones with a traditional taste and the ease of a drop scone? Once you try them, you’ll be making them every weekend!

Ingredients

    Yield: about ten 3½- to 4-inch scones

    • 2⅓ cups (327 g) Pamela's Baking & Pancake Mix
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • ⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon sugar
    • ¼ cup (4 tablespoons) butter, cut in small dice, chilled
    • ⅓ cup milk
    • 1 egg, large, beaten
    • ½ cup currants
    • 1 tablespoon orange zest (optional)

Directions

    Preheat oven to 375°. Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

    Whisk together Baking & Pancake Mix, baking powder, and sugar. Using two knives or pastry blender, cut butter into dry ingredients until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk, egg, currants, and orange zest, combining all together with a fork. Dough will be thick. Scoop or drop large, tall dollops (about ¼ cup each) of dough onto baking sheet. Bake for 13 to 18 minutes until just starting to brown on the edges.

    VARIATION: Replace currants with ½ cup dried cranberries, and be sure to include the orange zest.

Delicious! Left out the currants and added a do or two of lemon essential oil and they are amazing! Definitely lighter and fluffier than a normal "Fair scone", but still delicious!

They are tasty. However they turned out like large, fluffy cookies instead of scones. I followed the recipe but used bittersweet chocolate chips instead of currents. Maybe being in Phoenix made a difference... I wanted scones.

      Mine did too. They tasted really good though. Maybe less milk.

Perfection! I added 1 t. cinnamon, 1 hefty C. Pecans, and the zest on 1 lemon! My new obsession. Sure is nice to curb that "bread" craving with something this delicious! Thanks Pamela!!!!

Made Pamela's gluten free orange zest scones for my gluten intolerant son in laws. They were a hit and they loved them. It was a nice sweet treat for them. Love your mix and recipes.

I love these every time. I usually use dried blueberries instead of currants though, just a personal preference. And sometimes add a dash or two of cinnamon to the batter =)

We really enjoy these scones. I make them in a variety of flavors. My boys prefer chocolate chips. I like cranberries and pecans. I usually leave out the orange zest. I use coconut sugar in place of cane sugar. They're really yummy and not too sweet.

Love this recipe. It made 10 large scones using a large ice cream scoop (2 1/4 inch) . Next time, I will make them with the smaller scoop.

Hi there, I was just wondering if I could pre make the dough at night, fridge it, & make the scones in the morning. I plan on making a more savory version: bacon, cheddar, & chives. TIA.

      Erin - Once you mix it, you activate the leavening agents and the batter will begin to rise. I would not suggest mixing ahead of time. Denise, Customer Service

      ACTUALLY. it works WELL to make up your dough, form the scones (you can pat dough into a circle then cut it into wedges) Put it on the cookie sheet, cover with plastic and refrigerate. This will slow any "rising action". Preheat your oven and bake as directed. It actually HELPS to have COLD butter melting slowly in the scones rather than all at room temp going into oven!

Love your mixes.....pls,pls,pls tell me if there's any way I can make these into pumpkin scones??!! Been trying to find a recipe to do with your pancake mix. Also can I substitute almond milk as we aren't supposed to do much dairy and any way to sub honey for sugar which is really bad for our inflammation. I know it's a lot to ask for but I bet ppl would love a pumpkin scone recipe. TY!!

      HI Lyn- Try using a traditional wheat recipe for Pumpkin Scones, and swap the wheat flour for our Artisan Blend...let me know how it goes! And yes, you should not have any problem using almond milk. Most recipes work using honey, just check the ratio via the internet to know how much to use.
