These were deliciously moist and dense, which means one goes a long way. The directions were spot on, I made the batch all in my Kitchenaid. I simply switched out the beater to the dough hook after the incorporation of the berries & oats. We all loved these scones but agree that They could be sweeter, and next time I will add a dash of citrus acid for a light tang. Yes, we would definetly make these again. Thanks so much for posting such a treat.
