Personal Notes:
This is a basic scone recipe that you can add to. Fruit (peaches, blueberries) lemon or orange zest, nuts, chocolate chips, etc. can be added to the dough. If icing, the basic glaze is 1 1/2 cups icing sugar, 2 tbs butter, 2 teaspoons vanilla and enough milk to make the required consistency (depending whether you are icing or drizzling). You can also flavour the glaze, i.e. orange juice, vanilla bean paste, maple syrup or maple extract - the sky is the limit.
