LOVE YOUR SCONES, both the taste & the ease of preparation, though with the high level of cholestrol, they wouldn't be made often around here! Still, as long as we eat healthy enough most of the time, & nice splurge like this isn't usually a big thing! I served these along with the lemon honey & was extremely pleased! Thanks for sharing the recipe! [Made & reviewed for one of my groupmates in the Aus/NZ Recipe Swap #37]

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
