Question for Mary who kindly shared her Irish Grandmother's scone recipe: You mentioned that you leave out the sugar when making savory scones. How much do you use when making sweet scones? I love trying family heirloom recipes. Thanks for sharing yours! Just in case Mary doesn't see this, the amount of sugar depends on the amount of flour, and how much other sweet stuff you might add. If your scones are going to be packed with chocolate chips and cherries or lots of dried fruit, you can add about 3 tablespoons sugar. if they're plain, you'd probably want to add about 1/3 to 1/2 cup for a mildly sweet scone. This would be for a recipe using 2 1/2 to 3 cups flour. Hope this helps - PJH
