Cinnamon Chip Scones
Creating Memories and Embracing English Tradition in the Kitchen
There's something truly magical about spending quality time in the kitchen, especially when it involves passing down cherished traditions. This weekend, I had the joy of embarking on a delightful baking adventure with my little nieces, and, with one of them being British, we decided to dive into the heart of English tradition by making scones.
Why scones? Because sometimes, life calls for a touch of sweetness. The simplicity of scones reflects the beauty of English tea traditions and the joy found in the little moments. We snapped pictures and perfected our technique and the results were DELICIOUS!
With messy hands and a little chocolate on our faces, we bring you our recipe! I hope you find time to create in your kitchen this holiday season!
