    Very moist and easy recipe! Only thing I would change is somehow to get the baking powder (taste) to become invisible. Any suggestions? Thanks for the recipe!!!

    These are great! Use for shortcake or add some of your own ingredients to make scones.

    Use this recipe for easy scones. Add raisens, cranberries, orange peel, what ever you like.

    The less you work the dough, the lighter the cake. [I posted this recipe.]
