With the raisins, whole wheat flour, zest & buttermilk, THESE SCONES HAVE GREAT TASTE, & I'd happily make them again especially for a satisfying breakfast! Great with a fruity butter or even a sweet honey butter! Thanks for the keeper! [Tagged, made & reviewed in the Bargan Basement cooking game]Reply
