In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla and milk until smooth.

Pour wet mixture over dry and fold in gently with a rubber spatula. Do not over mix or the scones will be tough. Dough should be wet and shaggy looking.

Fold in berries and zest. This is where you can add your own add in and flavoring. This scone recipe truly is versatile!

Work batter gently with your hand to form a solid ball. Sprinkle flour on a clean surface and turn dough out. Knead in flour until a ball of dough forms. Again be sure not to over mix or your scones will have a tough consistency.
