Donna said she does not follow a recipe, per say. She adds seasonal flavors or uses what's on hand but the base recipe remains the same.
RECIPE NOTES: Here is what Donna says about the additions she uses. For these Apple Craisin Scones, I finely chopped one medium sized apple, about 1 cup. I use whatever apples I have. Since there is no sugar in the basic recipe, I tossed about a tablespoon with the apples. I tossed in a handful (about a half to three quarter cups) of craisins. If batter appears to be too wet due to the apples, add a bit more flour.

  6. Let the scones cool in the pan and then remove.
  7. NOTE: Most scones are rather dry so I always make sure that my batter is moist.
