Browned Butter Peach Scones

Posted by Katie on Aug 07 2012 at 06:06 am

As you already know I’ve recently become quite fond of scones.

Raspberry dark chocolate whole grain scones or blueberry lemon scones anyone?

The scone recipe I am about to share with you is once again a whole grain scone and it is absolutely perfect for breakfast, as a snack or dessert!

These moist yet crumbly scones are made with whole grain flour, natural, unrefined sugar and they have a beautiful deep buttery flavour that is perked up by the sweet yet tangy flavour of peaches.

And so, my love affair with scones continues.

Join me won’t you?
