Berry Scones with Orange-Honey Butter

You can prepare Tyler's orange-honey butter the old-fashioned way –– by sealing the ingredients in a Mason jar and shaking vigorously for 10 minutes –– or by using a food processor. Just remember to strain out the buttermilk once the mixture separates, as you'll need it to make the scones.

Strawberry Muffins

Ina's tip for the perfect muffin texture: Don't overmix the batter or the muffins will be tough. When you have a good mix, you can put anything you like in them –– blueberries, raspberries or strawberries are nice.

Classic Pound Cake

Pound cake is excellent served hot out of the oven, but luckily this recipe stores well, too. If not serving the same day, wrap in plastic wrap and store at room temperature for 4 to 5 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.

Easter Bread

This light and airy bread is just sweet enough to go along with your traditional Easter dinner. (Add up to 1/2 teaspoon almond extract with the eggs if you prefer it a little sweeter.) Make it the day before, and if you have any left over, make amazing French toast with it the day after!
