Directions
Aunt Dot’s Scones, Treat yourself! These are strictly an adult treat, as they’re not cookie-sweet but they ARE moist and flavorful My Aunt Dot, (a fabulous cook), sent me this recipe from Missouri several years ago and I have made them many times since then Sometimes I get up early in the morning and make up a batch for the neighbors, which they very much appreciate I especially savor eating 2 or 3 of these scones for brunch along with a nice glass of Pinot Grigio I HIGHLY recommend that, with this recipe, you lay out all the ingredients in advance — it makes the process go much easier Enjoy!, I made these for a late saturday breakfast Like you said they are very moist and flavorful I made your small fruit salad to go with the scones Made a nice breakfast Thanks Bone Man Bullwinkle
