  2. What a coincidence, I've been thinking of trying scones as I've never made them and these sound so refreshing for summer weather! Thank you! Now if I can only find a fresh mango....if not I'll substitute...I've gotten used to doing that where I live! LOL! Have a great day!

  5. Kathy, what a great idea to put the cooling rack over the sink so that the glaze doesn't make a mess on the counter!! I had never thought of that. I have made Anneliese's Blueberry scones many times, these recipes are quite similar in base, just different flavours, and my girls are always right there dipping their fingers and 'cleaning' the counter for me. I will have to try your tip, although I think the girls may be a little disappointed if I take the clean up job from them!

    1. Anonymous you could also put the cooling rack over a cookie sheet and then your girls could still lick up the drippings off the cookie sheet... :)

  11. Hi Kathy - I made these scones this morning! I did make a few changes though. I used 1 cup all purpose flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour. I don’t eat or buy yogurt so used 2 Tablespoons fat free sour cream and 2 Tablespoons pureed mango rather than the 1/4 cup yogurt. Mangoes vary greatly in size so I measured 1 cup of chopped mango which was about the right amount for me. I also toasted the coconut before adding it to the batter and used all of the zest from the orange which was probably closer to 2 Tablespoons. Also added 2/3 cups of mini dark chocolate chips! Always love to add chocolate whenever I can get away with it! LOL! These turned out quite tasty! Even with all my adjustments, I got 16 good sized VERY delicious scones! - dn
