Expert Tips

We have the Scots to thank for scones. This Scottish quick bread is said to have been named for the Stone of Destiny, where Scottish kings were once crowned.

Not into raisins? Go ahead and replace them with your favorite dried fruit. (Cut dried apricots and other large dried fruits into smaller pieces before adding to the batter.)

I could use a tip on the best way to handle the very sticky dough, but the result was delicious anyway. I'm sure I will make this again. I used golden raisins, which I think have a nice sweetness, and skipped the frosting. Might try pecans in place of walnuts next time just to see if it makes a difference -- I like both. Very good!

I love this recipe! These aren't classic scones but they are delicious and perfect to use for mini- scones too. I actually didn't have a carrot cake mix so I used a butter pecan mix and added cinnamon & nutmeg. I really like these! I'm gonna try some chocolate versions and maybe a few others!
