I have been using the scone mixes for quite awhile and was delighted to come across a mention of the shortcake adaptation in the catalog. The favorite here is to use the blueberry sour cream mix and add some additional blueberries. These were a big hit at a birthday party recently. My only complaint is that I had to work out the conversion for a full box of mix (weighing 18.6 oz instead of the 10 oz in the recipe) which always leaves me a bit nervous. I have also done the scones and biscuits class at the baking school and while I like making things from scratch I also appreciate the mixes for the convenience. BTW the full box makes about 20 scones. Strangely this larger number of scones disappears as quickly as the smaller batch, a fundamental law in the baking universe.
