Recipe Review
southerncooker from Boomer, NC
The only reason I didn't rate this one a 5 is that I didn't have any ground ginger on hand and had to omit it from the recipe. I had already started making it when I realized I didn't have any. I forged ahead and used the other two forms of ginger -- crystallized and fresh. These were still fantastic and I can only imagine they would be even better with the ground ginger bumping it up to three ways. I'll be making them again. I love how she gives you instructions so even beginners can be successful in making the recipes. I've made scones before but still find her tips to be of help. I also like that she tells you how to refresh these if you have leftovers. I only got 8 scones instead of 10 and mine baked in about 10 minutes less time that was listed. They were golden brown, lemony, and gingery. So good. The fresh lemon glaze just bumps these over the top.

I loved this review -- it just made me want to go straight to the grocery store to get the ingredients and straight to the book store to buy the book. Nice work!

Thanks AJ. I'm enjoying cooking from this one. I actually won it and it's autographed.
