More instructions would have been helpful, like how the mix was supposed to look once the butter was all mixed in. They were sweeter than I thought they'd be, and they did spread out more than I expected.
Overall, not bad for a first try, but I wouldn't get this particular kind again because of the sweetness.
Hi SJ,
Thank you for the honest feedback. You're right that the directions could say more about how the dough should look once the butter is worked in, and we'll pass that along. Chilling the scones before baking can help them hold their shape.

So easy to make. I added some Thompson raisins to the mix. Absolutely gorgeous flavour. My family raved about them.
Excellent!
Mixed the ingredients as per the package, came out very running. I had to add more flour, turned out like a thick pancake. But flavour was good.
This scone mix was delicious! It was easy to make and turned out very nice!
Loved making these. They didn't last long.
Mixing and baking instructions were easy. My friends preferred them to the bakery-bought ones I had purchased "just in case". Will order again so that I can try some of the variations.
I tried my first batch of scones and plan to add a few additions (cranberries, orange zest, lemon drizzle and walnuts) to my next batch. One thing I noticed: recommended oven temp of 325'F is not high enough. I raised the temp to 375'F in my gas convection oven to achieve the desired golden brown appearance.
We added Novs Scotia blueberries to the mix. Fantastic!
Perfect and delicious 😋
Threw in a handfull of dried cranberries and some white chocolate chips. Wow!
Tasted great but they spread out too much when baking. I’ll try adjusting the liquid quantities next time and see.
I love all the products I recently purchased. I've always loved baking since I was a child and I previously was a bread baker and other baked goods with quality flours like you get from Arva Flour Mill. It's grown and milled locally in Ontario which is even better. I will definitely be a returning customer. I only wish I found this place earlier in my life.
I bought the mix and made these scones. I added currants but made no other changes. They were tasty but ran together on the sheet and came out the size and thickness of thin pancakes.
One of the beat scones we have ever had.Thanks
Taste like my old childhood scones my Grandmother & Mother used to make for the family. Going to add a handful of currants on the next time. Really great, try them you will not be disappointed.
Just like the cereals I have bought from you, this is also an excellent product!
I love the Red Fife pancake mix so I thought I would try these scones . They are really nice. Light and fluffy. I love scones and like to have them for company but don’t like to make them . These are really convenient
