| Nothing is more inviting than warm scones, fresh from the oven. Serve them for breakfast, coffee time, tea time, anytime spread with butter, preserves, lemon curd and, if desired Devon, clotted or whipped cream. Garvey’s organic scones are one of life's simple pleasures. Our organic scones are made quickly and easily. |

 was skeptical, now a believer |

I was very skeptical that this would taste as good as the other reviewers said, but it was on sale so I figured I'd give it a try. My 5-yr-old son LOVES scones. Well, not only does it taste great, but it's ridiculously easy to make and my son was able to help me. In addition, my family comes from England so I've had my fair share of all sorts of scones. I have to say these taste pretty authentic. After they were done I wished I'd had clotted cream to go with. And organic to boot, what a find!
Also, being a mom who has to juggle, and never finding a recipe I didn't have to tweak, I found an even easier way to make them than the instructions on the box. Using 2 boxes I dumped the mixes directly into a disposable foil 1/2 size lasagna pan. Then I put in a full stick of butter that was room temp. I forked it till the dough was little lumps. I didn't add a flavor because I wanted to see what "original" was like. (Great.) Then I put in a cup of milk and forked it around till it was smooth dough. There was still some dry mix at the bottom of the pan so I added the couple of tablespoons of milk. Then, I got my hands in there and it wasn't too difficult to pick up the stray bits till the pan was clean and the dough was a ball. Then I smoothed out the dough evenly in the pan. Then I took a knife and scored it in quarters till I had 16 triangles. Baked it and done.
Mind you, I must say that my "easy" way of doing it is only if you don't mind not having the crusty edges on each triangle, the mark of a "real" scone I suppose. To me, I'd rather save the time, the dishes, and it tastes the same, delicious! |
I love Garvey's scones!

| I have tried others and these are definately the best. Nothing better on a Sunday morning than a Garvey's scone with a little jam and a cup of coffee. And they're easy to make! |

I love this mix, and because it is plain it is fun to play with. So far I've added chocolate chips to it; that was good, and chopped up dried apricots with about 1/4 cup of almond meal plus about one more TBS milk (delicious), and chopped dates and walnuts (wonderful- served them with honey), and a mix of dried berries (blueberries and strawberries)- marvelous. All these iterations took at the most about 5 minutes to prepare :-) I find I don't have to bake them quite as long as the package says- but I make small scones- and perhaps my oven is erratic. At any rate, keep an eye on your first batch to get a good idea for baking time.
I'm looking forward to trying savory additions next. I'm sure they will be good too.
This mix is fantastic alone, also- but it's so much fun to add things I find it hard to stop. The mix is excellent quality, and I was very pleased to find the sell by date is a long way off (Nov 17 2011, for my two orders).
I've ordered all the Garvey's mixes, since my family has so enjoyed this one and the coffee cake. This is a truly exceptional company. How lovely to have found them.
Edit:
Have now made the fresh blueberry scones (as you see on the side of the package- it was great! I topped it with some glaze and the blueberry sugar that Amazon sells.
I also made a rosemary ham, shredded cheese and green onion scone (2 slices thing ham, minced, 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese, and one finely diced green onion)- these were really really good.
And finely, I created a Parmesan, orange peel and white pepper scone that was the best of the lot. I grated the peel off two organic blood oranges, added about 1/3 cup shaved parmesan, and 1/2 tsp white pepper. The taste was absolutely out of this world. |
Delicious!

| Mmmmmm! These scones are delicious, and I have never been a real fan of scones. They turned out very moist. I added orange flavoring + 2 Tbs sugar to the first batch, and made a simple orange glaze to drizzle on top. Everyone loved them! I look forward to using this mix for cheese scones, chocolate chip scones, cranberry orange sonces, etc! This 6-pack was a great deal with the special promo code. |

| Home made scone with home made vanilla latte. Yum. Every time I enjoy this combination it makes me feel like I'm rich and retired. |
