Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Everyone in our family loves scones. It is a quick-to-make coffee treat that we never get tired of. They are scrumptious warm, with butter, but not as warm as the many conversations we've had while nibbling on them. No, they don't look or taste like the scones you get in the grocery stores or bakeries, but we are glad for that. This is our family recipe and we love it the way it is.
