Double the Scones, Double the Fun

 

Hey y'all!  Hope you're doing well.  We had some beautiful weather in Kansas this week.  Unseasonably cool for July, now August.  Can you believe it's already August?  I feel like April and May were 12 years long, then June and July just flew by.  I hope you all are safe and healthy.  

My friend and co-worker, Lita, saw me make some delicious scones and she said, "you have to do a video of that!".  Well, I did.

I used two different versions of https://vainfoods.com/ vanilla in these recipes.  One orange and one ginger.  Check them out, they are fantastic!!!!  And local in Kansas (love).  

The video demo for the scones is below:

I'm sharing with you two different fruit versions of this recipe.  The base is the same, just switch out the fruit!  Super easy and these are oh so decadent and tasty.  Great to make on a Sunday afternoon, like I did, to have with your morning coffee for the week.  Reminds me of my visits to London.  Is there anything better than a scone, a cup of tea and throw in some clotted cream?  Hurt me!!!

I hope you enjoy this recipe and video.  If you like what you see hit that subscribe button on YouTube and you'll stay notified when new recipe videos are up.  

Stay safe, stay healthy and take care of each other.  Have a blessed week!  

Enjoy!
