It's A Trend

When I sat down to blog this recipe I realized something interesting. This is the second Monday in a row I am sharing a scone recipe with you. It wasn't planned that way, but apparently I've started a trend. I'm guessing it won't continue next Monday, but a two week occurrence can still be a trend, right?!

After my luck at making the Cranberry Orange ones I shared last week, I wanted to try them again! Like I said in that post, I've never been a fan, but I can whole heartily say I am a convert! In fact, I would venture to say I've almost become addicted. They are much easier to make then I ever imagined and I just adore the texture and flavor. These make the perfect weekend breakfast or brunch item, but truthfully I love serving them for dessert too. I usually have them for breakfast in the morning and the leftovers, (if there are any) become a quick dinner time sweet treat. I haven't done it myself, but I'm guessing these would be great baked off, frozen and then reheated for a quick school/workday morning too.

Without even trying, I've started a trend here on EMM, and while I'm not making any promises, I'm guessing it's one that while not on a weekly basis, will continue at some point!
