Yum. No adjustments necessary for these delicious scones. As always, best eaten while they are freshly baked. One thing I will point out is that the dough is very sticky, so rather than using more flour to knead it and therefore changing its beautiful texture, I'll finish mixing it in the bowl (scones do best when they aren't overly handled) and then turn it straight onto a lined baking sheet for a quick shaping and cutting into wedges.
