Next time, you can mix them with a little sugar and leave to masticate for half an hour and then drain the juices.

They're good for a few days easily!<br /><br />@OP I have been making these since you posted the recipe, and a wild variety of interpretations thereof, my favorite is +1c of oats and 1/4c maple syrup with cranberries (dried) vs strawberries. Enough flour to make them stop being tacky crazy balls, and they're amazing. Occasionally I'll also put on a simple glaze from maple too. Oh, and I always double up on the vanilla.

Though it helps to try to remove excess water after defrosting as best you can. I tend to give a few twists to the recipes I find and wanted to share what I did with you! I used coconut oil for the fat, added lemon zest, and used 1% milk. Kind of turning a tropical drink into a scone! Lastly, I grated some dark chocolate on the top. Naturally, with the frozen strawberries being extra juicy, I did have to add more than a couple tablespoons of flour when kneading. And I just loved the coconut aroma. All in all, it really came out great. I'll definitely do this again -- thank you!rubinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2151018193473620618.post-46486425956368131912011-09-13T10:43:08.964-07:002011-09-13T10:43:08.964-07:00I just finished making these, and they're grea...I just finished making these, and they're great! My oven usually takes a bit longer than the recommended bake time, so I started at intervals of 5 minutes like suggested. At 15 minutes I noticed that the bottom edges were turning brown so I pulled them out- glad I did! Perfect timing! <br /><br />I did not have any half/half or butter milk or cream, so I took a chance with the 2% milk in my fridge. Can't say that I can tell a difference from previous scones I've eaten! <br /><br />Thanks for the great recipe!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2151018193473620618.post-79783306382717394562011-08-31T11:08:30.806-07:002011-08-31T11:08:30.806-07:00I've just made them myself, and I had the same...I've just made them myself, and I had the same problem as the previous commenter--I had to add more than a cup of flour to help them get out of the sticky stage!
