  • “Just baked this one, what a nice change from heavier scone recipes I’ve tried, very light and tasty and yes, if you are baking in a convention oven – WATCH THEM!Mine took about 11 minutes.I didn’t have vanilla yoghurt so used 4 small multi fruit flavoured ones and all spice versus cinnamon because I was lazy to grind fresh.I didn’t use a muffin tin, just blobbed them on a oiled cookie sheet – made 7 nice sized scones that turned out great.Definately a repeat!”

  • “Very good!”

  • “This recipe is more of a cross between a muffin and a scone as found in Australia and NZ being lighter than usual. It is also a wetter mix than your usual scone dough.Despite a large amount of cinnamon, the scones were not obviously cinnamony.I did not have a clean muffin tin available so I just put large tablespoonsfuls on some baking paper which worked well.If you have a convection oven, you will probably find that you only need 8 minutes baking time. I had stopped the oven at 10 minutes to find that the tops had burnt a little.”
