Scones

Cherry chip, pineapple coconut, sausage n' herb, apple-cinnamon.................whatever the variety, I LOVE scones! This morning though, I was in the mood for some plane, simple scones to enjoy with my morning coffee. They came out beautifully...............here is the recipe just in case you want to give it a try. 

Simple Scones

3 cups all purpose flour

4 teaspoons baking powder

3 teaspoons brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup butter

1/2 cup milk

 1 egg, beaten

Turn on oven at 375 F

Measure all ingredients.

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, brown sugar, and salt.

Using a whip or spoon, stir dry ingredients until thoroughly mixed.

Using your fingers, incorporate the butter into the dry ingredients until it looks like crumbs.
