If I ever start another business it's going to be a scones shop. The problem is that it's hard to convince people that scones are amazing and delicious - not dried out biscuits with a little bit of glaze on top. I have, however, convinced my son Luke and they are his favorite thing I bake. Out of all the flavors he's tasted, he deems these Mini White Chocolate Cherry Scones "the best scones EVER!"
Good recipes for scones are hard to find. The best person to teach you how to make scones is our friend and former teacher Heather Farmer of Boston Girl Bakes. The explanations on her blog and the detailed steps will turn you into a scones expert before you know it.
Nothing compares to Heather's Orange Cranberry Scones. But, this recipe for Starbucks Copycat Vanilla Bean scones made with actual vanilla beans is a close second.
