| Scones |
From the kitchen of Stephanie Knewasser. Scones are perfect for a
shower, brunch or tea. I found this recipe at allrecipes.com, but
changed it a little. Flavors are unlimited, see suggestions at right. Try
sprinkling tops with sugar or cinnamon sugar before baking, &/or
drizzling finished scones with confectioners sugar & water glaze.
