18 Dec Recipe Alert: Scones
In honor of our special friend Julien Dougherty’s memory, we prepared an array of our favorite dishes. One of our favorite recipes to make for breakfast, and a farmer’s market fan favorite, is our scones. While scones can be challenging to prepare, our recipe simplifies the process into a few easy to follow steps. The result is a light, moist, and airy confection that is the perfect addition to spice up your breakfast. We’ve included 3 optional variations of the base recipe to appeal to a range of tastes. Feel free to get creative with your mix-ins or toppings, and enjoy!
