Our Best Ideas for Scones
Baking scones in the morning fills the kitchen with a warm, comforting aroma and sets a cozy tone for the day. Scones are best served warm, when their exteriors are slightly crisp and give way to a soft, buttery interior. When paired with a dollop of clotted cream, jam or a pat of butter, scones turn an ordinary breakfast into a moment of simple luxury. Whether it’s a savory cheese recipe or a sweet and nutty version, there’s sure to be a scone to suit your fancy. Start off strong with Food Network Kitchen’s best scone recipe. This recipe is designed to taste great as written (especially when smeared with butter and jam) or to serve as a jumping-off point for endless creativity and imagination. Try mixing in a cup of your favorite fresh or dried fruit or topping them with an interesting glaze.
