The Best Scones Recipe

Prep:10minCook:25min

No, your scone is NOT supposed to be a sad dry heap of useless carbs! The best scones are crispy on the edges and tender in the middle. They are buttery, flaky, perfectly moist pieces of breakfast perfection that are surprisingly easy to make with a few tips. Don't let the sad coffeehouse selections fool you into thinking you don't like scones. You just haven't tried this recipe yet!

My husband's opinion based on past experience, is that scones are dry and flavorless. UNTIL I made these! Hat's off to The Food Charlatan!! The grating of the butter is not an easy task but worth every bite!! I added my own touch using lemon zest and lavender in my glaze. Over the top!! Word of caution: I made one attempt to grate the butter in a food processor and then blend the dry ingredients till well blended and then the wet ingredients. This did not end with good results. The manual labor in keeping without small appliances is much better.
