We attended the WA State Fair at Puyallup...and Fisher fair scones are still going strong! Patiently waited in line 30 minutes to buy our baker's dozen for only $20. They are as good as always! Made on the spot...you watch as they knead the dough, cut, bake, slice, dab of butter from huge 1'x1' round butter block, then gobs of raspberry jam dobbed.. each in their own bag before the carry bag. Heaven...oh yes! Imust try both recipes to have more !
