Scones are a perfect light breakfast. These are more tradional than the other recipes I have posted. They are perfectly light and flaky and go well with a nice cup of pinon coffee or a cup of afternoon tea. They would be a great gift for the holidays and the recipe makes 8 fairly large slices. I gave my neighbor a few and let me tell you they go a long way, he was very grateful. I love baking for the holidays and spreading the love around and I encourage you to do the same. Wishing you a blessed holiday season. Bon Appetit, Cecelia
