sweet treats

sweet treats for a friend

I recently found this fantastic scone recipe while looking for fun items to include in my sister's bachelorette brunch.  I thought scones would be difficult to make, but these are surprisingly easy, and extra delicious.  I changed the recipe slightly (using self rising flour for simplicity) and I like to use the extra large chocolate chips - and twice as many!  You also need to use a good bit more orange juice than the recipe link calls for, so just keep that in mind.  I love making them for a friend who has just had a baby - taking over supper, and including a few of these makes the gift last longer, because they can have them for breakfast the next morning - or a middle of the night sweet when up with a baby who has no concept of time.  It's like a hug when they need it most.  Those long nights can be hard, and who doesn't need to feel like royalty at such a time?  Download the 4" x 9" recipe card in the margin to print it out and include with the scones - maybe tuck a few of your favorite hot teas in there, too!    These would be a super yummy pairing!  (Link to the pretty pretty artwork is in the margin.)
