[@karinlohiser5559]

I just made these and they were really good and not at all over worked. Tender light and delish! I’m going to make these again and use some other extras like cranberry orange etc. mmmmmmm

[@reneejohnson5041]

[@sharonreznick4397]

[@mmakomanyatja5213]

My mouth is drooling all ready thank you so much I'm watching I'm mixing them be bless with your family is okay if I don't add chocchip I love it when they plain

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you! You can certainly omit the chocolate chips if you'd like. :)

[@Konamomma808]

I made these today but used blueberries and put a lemon glaze on top. Oh wow! These were SO amazing! Oh, I didn’t have heavy cream so I used plain Greek yogurt! Thank you so much for this recipe! Super easy and so delicious!

[@SugarSpunRun]

I’m so glad you enjoyed them so much! I love the sound of blueberries and a lemon glaze! 😊

[@Konamomma808]

@@SugarSpunRunI had purchased scones two days in a row and they were terrible! I saw your video and had to make my own. It was my first attempt! I’ll be making all varieties now, these were great! ❤

[@LadyGreenThumb2]

You answered my question on replacing the cream for regular yogurt, Greek yogurt is an even better. Like the lemon glaze option too. Thank you for your comment!

[@simplymadeeats]

I love that tip with the heavy cream to have the sugar stick! So smart 🤩

[@michellekralovec3080]

She didnt use heavy cream in the dough. She used sour cream

[@ElizabethMaysonet-b1v]

Nice scones delicious.

Thank you 😋

[@Augustus_Imperator]

They look so good, I definitely have to try it

[@SugarSpunRun]

I hope you love them! :)

[@samanthahoos9827]

❤Thank you! I couldn’t find my recipe from last winter and this was quick/easy to do. I made chocolate chip cranberry scones.😊

[@SugarSpunRun]

You’re welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it!

@@SugarSpunRun My Aunt from England took them ALL when I went brought her dinner last night. We ate under the stars and talked for hours. She made coffee and loved them - cranberry chocolate chip. THANK YOU! 😊

[@cjstephens10028]

These look great. What does the sourdough discard bring to the recipe? Moisture? Tang?

[@SavoryExperimentsCooking]

These look incredible -- I can't wait to make them!

Thank you! 😊

I don’t make sourdough so I don’t have the leftover starter. Can I substitute with more cream?

[@SugarSpunRun]

I don’t recommend it. The sourdough is vital to the success of these scones. I do have a traditional scone recipe though. 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2rUdql8rcaoZq8si=oBGaNtR60KasHI9q

[@kaffepojke]

Would any adjustment be needed if I don't have any sourdough starter?

[@SugarSpunRun]

I would recommend my classic scone recipe. They probably won’t really turn out without the starter. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2rUdql8rcaoZq8si=xL1qfukfiLdxhuYw

[@MadameChampagne-g9c]

How many months are you pregnant? these scones looks dilicious ! thanks for sharing !💙👍

[@LadyGreenThumb2]

Can I replace the cream with full fat regular yogurt?

[@SugarSpunRun]

I am not sure how it would work.

[@LadyGreenThumb2]

⁠@@SugarSpunRunmade it today (lemon zest & blueberry in dough part) and used full fat plain Greek yogurt and about 2 tablespoons of water to make it more liquid consistency, like cream. After baking, glazed with reduction of sugar lemon syrup. Turned out great! 😋

[@ІлонаГоловій]

Can I use an active starter?

[@SugarSpunRun]

Yes, but make sure to stir it down first. :)

[@amassaro]

So where would we get the sour dough discard?

[@amazijn]

You can buy dry sourdough starter that you can activate and then use the discard when you have activated it

[@SugarSpunRun]

I have a tutorial on how to make your own. It takes a little bit of time but it’s so worth it! 😊 sugarspunrun.com/how-to-make-a-sourdough-starter/

[@emmadickey5602]

Do you think I could leave the dough disk wrapped in the fridge overnight? I'd love to be able to do most of the work ahead of time.

[@amazijn]

Normally you can do that with sourdough, it might give it just that little more sour taste to it

[@SugarSpunRun]

Yes, absolutely! They'll take a bit longer to bake in the oven but otherwise this works great :)

[@ThankfulNanaDiane]

I don’t keep heavy cream on hand. Would milk work?

[@SugarSpunRun]

I haven't tried milk. I would use full fat milk and maybe slightly less since it's thinner. The fat in the heavy cream will help keep the scones from being dry so you may have a bit dryer scone using milk as well. Let me know how it goes if you do try it! :)

@@SugarSpunRun Yes. So worth it. I can't wait to be introduced to her and hear all about how the boys are doing and the rest of the family. Praying that everything goes well. What a great time to have a new baby, you will be able to get out and enjoy the summer weather with her.
