Classic Scones



Many have asked, what’s in a name?!  Well, I think the more important question truly is, what’s in a scone?!  Just like a person, you can’t judge a scone by its name or appearance…it all depends on what’s on the inside.  For some, it’s buttermilk.  For some, it’s cream.  For others, it’s the latest health food ingredient (applesauce, acai berry, you name it!).  But for me, it’s a classic Irish family recipe that starts with my grandmother telling you to “take off all your rings and bracelets because you need your hands!”  Buttery and warm, fruity but not too sweet, rustic and homey, this is my family’s recipe for perfect scones.  Judge for yourself, I think you’ll find that my family is delicious on the inside!
