Here is my go to recipe for scones.
Sweet Scones
2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
8 Tablespoons (1 stick) cold butter, cut up
1/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup milk
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Mix flour and baking powder in a large bowl. Mix well. Add butter and cut in with a pastry blender or rub with fingers until looks like fine granules. Add sugar - toss to mix. Add milk and stir with a fork until soft dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured board - knead about 10-12 times. Roll out 1/2 inch thick; cut with a round cutter. (I use a small canning jar) Bake on ungreased cookie sheet 12 minutes until brown. Cool on a wire rack.

I keep a tea tag journal. It's a kind of memory book where I write down what happened on the day I drink tea...which is often so I usually only write the special days. I added two of these quotes to my tea journal. I'm always looking for ones I haven't read before.
I've never made scones, but this recipe looks doable..even for me! Thanks!!
Sounds yummy to me! Enjoy your day dear friend, HUGS!
This was so peaceful and calming. Perhaps I need some chamomile tea. ☕️
