In preparation for an upcoming tea party, I was researching recipes for scones. I came across this one by Alton Brown (Food Network). It looked simple enough - and it was! It tastes amazing as well - light, flaky & fluffy, buttery and perfectly sweet. The kitchen is definitely not my favorite place and the oven is not an appliance I use all the time but this recipe made me feel like I knew what I was doing! I did cut out the scones with nonconventional scone shapes, but that just makes them more fun to eat, right?!
