Simple Cinnamon Scones

by Alison on June 14, 2011

Scones, perfect companions for your morning coffee or afternoon tea.  (Or both, I won’t tell…) Best served fresh & warm, though I’m sure they’re still mighty tasty the next day.  Well, at least I think they’d be pretty tasty the next day.  I wouldn’t actually know, mostly because I’ve never actually had any left the next [...]
