I go bananas over PUMPKIN!  (can one go pumpkins over pumpkins)?  Hm…

Annnyways, I can personally contest to a bad Scone experience-or a few rather.  It’s not pleasant.  It’s my personal belief that Scones should be moist, tender, & soft.  The contrary is seen in a lot of Scones, be it coffee shops, bakeries, etc.  It’s my personal promise that if you can master these, it’ll be love at first bite.  The type of experience that will hook you as a loyal lover of this almighty triangle of warm goodness for.ever. period.
