I tried this recipe. It was easy to make and it turned out well. I had never made scones before so I wasn't sure what they were supposed to look like. I looked at some online pictures and mine came out very similiar to some I saw. I used whole wheat flour (and coconut flour) and coconut mik (made with water and coconut cream concentrate). I halfed the recipe, which I usually do when trying a new recipe that is rather large. There are only two of us in the house and we don't "indulge" in a lot of sweets. Thank you for sharing.
