Garvey's Downton Abbey best Of British Traditional Organic Scone Mix, 9 Ounce (Pack of 1)

I've tried a number of scone mixes. So far this is my 2nd favorite. (My 1st favorite was from a family-owned cottage industry brand and I can't get it anymore.) So as far as actually being available, this one was really very good. They baked really well, were not dry. They certainly crumbled a bit because they are scones, but they crumbled less than other brands. I would buy it again. Better than the Sticky Fingers brand in the bags that are in fruit colors for sure. Only thing is it did not make that many scones. This mix I got 8 rather small scones. Other mixes, including sticky fingers, make 12 scones. The brand I had been getting made about 16 good-sized scones. So this brand is good. I will buy it again. Other buyers should just be aware that it makes a smaller amount. If I was serving them to guests or something I would bake two packages of these. My eight small scones could have been 6 medium-ish size. 5 stars for flavor, texture, ease of baking, and baking up well. (I did put a quick milk wash and some sugar on them. The milk makes the sugar stick.) Not so many stars for the amount the mix yielded. But I will buy them again. I pick flavor over quantity.

First of all, if you go to the store and buy a scone they can be three or four dollars. This mix generously allows about seven nice size scones. There are endless possibilities with this scone mix by just adding butter and some milk and mixing with your fingers the dough comes together beautifully. My first batch was with a really good chocolate chip. My second batch I did with gigantic blueberries. It’s the perfect combination of a little bit soft, a little bit chewy and a little bit crunchy. Of reference the scones are not sweet if you prefer a Sweeter scone, add some sugar to your mix. The scones would be fantastic with cheese as well. I brushed mine with a little bit of cream and some coarse sugar to finish them before I put them in the oven. I am now ordering my third box. These are high-quality, they mimic British scones. The price might seem high per box but the yield I a lot of delicious scones! I serve mine with clotted cream and jam and they were to die for. I’m getting now ready to sign up for subscribe and save. They are so easy to make it’s unbelievable

We have traveled to the UK ( England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland ) B&Bs and Tea rooms. We love scones! I discovered the Garvey’s scone mixes, and have made them my own. I usually do the Blueberry using fresh blueberries and Kerry Gold butter and 2Tbs. sugar and 6 packets of Splenda. They are delicious and a hit for brunch or breakfast. I love them and order 6 or 12 mixes at a time from Amazon. I tried a couple of other mixes when Williams Sonoma stopped carrying Garvey’s, but started ordering directly from Garvey’s and then from Amazon. I always have Garvey’s mixes and supplies available to make B&B and Tearoom quality Scones!

This product is good and not too hard to make but portions are small for the price.

Best scones ever! Yummy. I actually use them as biscuits for my biscuits and gravy dish. Country gravy mixed with bacon and breakfast sausage topped with a tad bit of honey. So delicious. The scones are super easy to make. Just add milk and butter and bake. Or just eating them with jam is good too.

I was expecting a good scone but was "gobsmacked" at these. They are delicious, light and tender, flavorful and easy to make. I used butter and heavy cream in mine and placed the single ball on the pan on parchment paper. I will lower the heat to 400 degrees in the future and place on the center rack rather than the lower rack of the oven next time. I've never tasted a scone like this before. Have made biscuits for many years and was expecting a biscuit upgrade with this mix but they are far more than an upgrade. Absolutely delicious. I am now on "subscribe and save" with this mix - a 'must have' in the pantry.

It's the exact same recipe and ingredients as the other Garvey scone you just paying for the Downtown Abbey name and it's double the price of garvey now.

My friends enjoyed this as a gift and said "Good scones!" They also enjoyed the connection to Downton Abbey.
