When I make scones I like to make an assortment. One quick and easy variation is to knead brown sugar and cinnamon into some of the scone dough. The resulting scones are reminiscent of cinnamon rolls and can be enjoyed plain or with jam.
It turns out that folding blackberry maple syrup into scone dough makes a very tasty breakfast. The resulting scones are sweet, moist and yummy plain or with jam.
Kick off the summer season with homemade strawberry shortcake. I usually use homemade scones as the base but the two key ingredients, in my opinion, are locally-picked strawberries and homemade whipped cream.
Serve these scones warm with berry jam or pile them high with strawberries and whipped cream for a yummy strawberry shortcake.
Scones are a quick bread of Scottish origin that always make me think of the British tea time. There are variations around the world and you can find scones of many different flavors but in my opinion, you can't go wrong with a plain buttery scone with berry jam.
