Just about a few weeks ago, I met and ingested my first scone.
Yep, 22 year old Amber meet scone.
Scone meet Amber... oh wait, you're all gone except for a crumb or two.
That scone never stood a chance.
My love affair with scones started fast and boy did I fall hard.
As great as Starbucks makes them, I wanted to make and master the art of scones.
Well, it didn't take much to "master" scone-making.
Let me just share with you... These are irresistible!
Looking good aren't they?
Well, Mr. Thomas inhaled two of them before church on Sunday and when I came out
to blend up my morning smoothie, he was sitting in a scone-induced coma on the couch.
When he finally came to, all he could manage was,
"Amber, I'm so sconed."
What a lovely little pun, right?
I know, get on with it already, we're hungry for a recipe.

One more picture for the road...
These scones taste best with a cup of fresh brewed coffee...
Or cocoa or cider or tea!

I love scones!! I had my first scone a few months ago, and over Thanksgiving break I, of course, had to make some! I ended up making pumpkin scones (I love all things pumpkin). I will have to try this recipe some time! They look so good!! Thanks for sharing!
I'm all for getting sconed!! =)
I'm a new scone fan, too! I found the best recipe and when I discovered I can do it in a jiffy, I started making them all the time! I'm definitely going to add this one to my scone routine! They are too cute! Thanks!
