I ate half the batch in less than an hour. I had to take a special trip into my husband's work, to take him some, so that I wouldn't eat them all!
Now, I don't normally post recipes that are not my own, but I am so in love with these scones... I just had to share them!
I wish you were here eating them with me. Seriously, I plan to make these every time I have company for the rest of my life!! (I know, I know... "The best laid plans...", right?) :o)
Anyways, here's the link (oh and I used blackberries instead of blueberries because that's what I have in my freezer!):
Enjoy!!
