Blackberries never tasted so good!
I can’t get over how delicious these scones came out.
I know have a new favorite scone recipe.
To my surprise this one did not call for eggs.
Funny thing is I brushed the tops with egg yolk instead of the egg white like I should have and once I did it, I KNEW! UGH guess I’ll just have to make them again 🙂

  1. Beautiful scones. I have never tried to make scones; though, I do love them. I will have to try these. I doubt mine will come out as pretty as yours.

  2. Seriously!?! Again with the scones, Do you realize what you are doing to me here? These look delicious, and I can't wait to try them….in a few days:)

  3. This picture is gorgeous! You weren't kidding about being the scone queen. 😉 Great to meet you this weekend!
