Made these a couple of times now - second time I had to bring them to the office for fear of eating the whole batch! - and I have to say they are incredibly yummy!

I know some people have asked if they can be frozen. I'm not sure how they fare if frozen after baking, but I froze the batter before baking. Then tonight, when I was craving one, I took a portion out of the freezer, let it thaw out for a bit, brushed with egg white & drizzled sugar on top before baking as per the instructions. Came out just as yummy as the regular way!

A great option if, like me, having 12 portions just lying around is a very dangerous thing... :)

I couldn't find white whole wheat flour at a major grocery store either... I used Gold Medal All Natural Whole Wheat Flour. Turned out PEFFECT.

I froze them in a Ziploc freezer bag too and they were fine. I actually had undercooked part of them and they came out the best after being frozen

I've made this twice. The first time I made the scone too thick so the bottom was a little burned and the middle was a little undercooked--not that it was bad! I also sprinkled with Truvia rather than sugar which i don't think I'd do again. I froze a lot of them, and the undercooked section actually did better when defrosted (I can't make sense of that, but it was true) and usually eat one for dessert after dinner. I froze the rest of the buttermilk in an ice tray and made another batch a couple weeks later. This time I did use the whole wheat flour (first time I only had all purpose white flour), made it thinner and sprinkled with real sugar which I think made a huge difference. I brought these to work and they were gobbled up! People asked for the recipe and complained that they went so quickly. No one could believe it was low fat and I've been asked to make another batch.

Thanks so much Gina!!

I made them with cinnamon instead of chocolate chips. I stored them in a freezer bag in the microwave. They only lasted 2 days but that is because we ate them!

2012-02-11T11:43:48.463-05:00

I made these and they were soooo good! I made them again the next day and used blueberries, kept everything else the same. They were really good too. My only issue was after storing them, they became mushy. Any ideas on how to store them other than the freezer. I tried ziplock, plastic wrap, storage container, and foil. Every way they became mushy and gooey. Any ideas?? I want to make them again but I don't want to eat them all the first day!

I would just add 1-2 tsp cinnamon and omit the chips. That sounds good too.

I made these a few weeks ago subbing raisins and craisins instead of the chocolate chips and ohhhhhhhhh they are amazingggggggggggg!!!! I freeze them and reheat them as needed. Just had another one this morning and I fall in love with it every single time!!!

I just made these and I couldn't wait to try them. I replaced the buttermilk with greek yogurt and the chocolate chips with blueberries and dried cherries. The texture was a little cakey, perhaps because of the yogurt. Great flavor and easy to make! Thanks for the recipe. Will make them again.

I'm waiting for mine to come out of the oven right now. I love scones and used to make them all the time, but my standby orange cranberry scones use 1 stick of butter for 8 scones...this makes me excited. But the reason I wanted to comment, normally when I make scones I cut them apart and place them separately in the pan to bake. This also allows you to bake just one or two and freeze the rest unbaked. Then when you want hem just toss the frozen scones on the pan and bake normally adding 2 to 3 minutes to the bake time. Fresh scones any time you want them :-)

2012-01-29T19:29:27.756-05:00

I made these this afternoon & they were amazing!! I used 1c. mini chocolate chips (because that's what I had in the pantry), added an extra tsp. of vanilla (because I don't think you can add too much vanilla) & threw in a little ground flax (to make myself feel better). My family asked for more so I'm adding this recipe to my collection. Thanks for sharing!! :-)

I made them yesterday and they are so good. My daughters loved them too. I took have the batch to my relatives because I knew I would clean the whole thing myself! The only thing I found was that it seemed a bit difficult to knead. Mine was really sticky even with floured hands and board. And then the cutting was a little goopy too. But in the end they looked perfect. Thanks!

2012-01-25T15:14:20.820-05:00

Just made these and I had to wrap them up before I ate the whole batch!! They are so delicious! I also didn't have buttermilk - but used 1 Tbl. white vinegar to a cup of milk and let it sit for 5 minutes. This is a keeper recipe I will make again and again!

2012-01-24T21:06:38.366-05:00

Made them tonight and agree: they're wonderful. I used 2% milk with a splash of apple cider vinegar since we didn't have buttermilk. For those concerned about sprinkling with sugar, I mixed up some cinnamon sugar and ended up only using half of the combo.

It does taste like a cookie rather than scone to me. I may feel somewhat guilty eating this in the morning! Delicious!

2012-01-23T22:23:12.915-05:00

I made this, but used 2 cups of whole wheat pastry flour, and palm sugar. They look just like the photo, but have a bitter after taste, is it the baking powder, 1 tablespoon seems like a lot.
