Just wondering whether it's necessary to have a food processor and/or big mixer to make great scones. Thanks! <blockquote>CherylQuilts- scones can be made by hand as well. Cutting the fat into the dry ingredients can be accomplished by pinching flour into the butter with your fingertips. Just continue to pinch the butter into the flour until it has incorporated. Add the wet ingredients by stirring in with a fork. --McAuliflower </blockquote> Found this posting when I “googled” cherry scones.

We have a sconery (is that how you say it?) here in Munich (part of Victorian House) that we every so often go to probably both, for the great scones as well as for the person behind the counter and his lovely accent ;) Your scones look great, and even better I 'll have something new to try as I've never baked any before. Thank you! Hi McAuliflower,
