I increased vegan sugar to 2 tsp., margarine to 2 tblsp. Using unbleached flour, I added 1 tsp. each of baking soda and powder. I set oven temperature to 400 degrees. Very tasty.

I'm sorry, but this recipe really did not work for me. It was hard and tasteless. Yech!

i might sound very ignorant but what are sultanas?

Originating in Smyrna, Turkey, this small, pale golden-green grape was once used to make wine. Today, howe'ver, its cultivated primarily for raisins. Its offspring in the United States is known as the Thompson seedless grape.--courtesy of foodnetwork.com. I hope this helps!

OOPS--forgot to mention the above definition is for, of course, sultanas, to help braceface.

For cricket: the secret of soft scones is to mix the dough as little as possible, because if you work it a lot you develop the weats gluten and it makes the dough hard. Good luck!

I just made these and am eating one now. Theyre quite good. I increased the sugar to 3 T, used 2 T earth balance, used plain flour with 1t. soda and 1t. baking powder. I also added some nutmeg, cinamon and allspice to the dry ingredients and some vanilla and almond to the wet and used raisins. Baked at 400 for 10 min. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT OVERWORK THE DOUGH, as mentioned before, it is the key to good scones. These would be especially good with the vegan fruit butter recipe.

I didn't like these scones at all. Perhaps I did something wrong. I substituted 1 part wheat flour, and 1 part pastry flour for the white flour, and I used extra virgin olive oil instead of margarine. I also didn't use baking powder. They weren't hard but they were closer to crackers than scones. Perhaps someone can help me make them better?

Simulated.Identity: the key to this recipe is self-rising flour. It is all purpose flour with salt and a leavening agent (like baking powder) mixed in. Using regular flour will not work. Scones need to rise, much like a muffin, using a leavener. If you see a recipe calling for self-rising flour and you don't have any on hand, you can substitute every cup of self-rising flour with: * 1 cup all-purpose flour * 1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder * a pinch of salt--Happy baking:
