After dealing with this last night, I needed a happy pill - and nothing works quite like my Mom's scones.  The recipe came from my Grandmother and over the years my Mom has tweaked it a bit - as have I; while Mom's called for margarine, I use butter - read on, bake and take a moment to yourself:

Recipe:  Sweet Scones

~ 3 c. flour

~ 8 oz. butter {cold}

~ 2 1/2 t. baking soda

~ 1/2 c. sugar

~ 1 c. organic whole milk

Preheat oven to 350.  Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.  In a large bowl sift the dry ingredients together.  Cut butter with pastry cutter or hands - pour in milk and mix well - be sure not to over mix.  Pour contents onto the prepared baking sheet and shape into a large rectangle - score the dough into squares.  Bake for 30 minutes or until an inserted knife comes out clean.  Let cool briefly before drowning in honey and devouring.

I have never had a scone but I do make biscuits regularly. They seem very similar? Your scones sound yummy. Biscuits are the ultimate comfort food for me.

I made the scones the other morning for a breakfast for my father and I. They're delicious. A fantastic recipe and the bane of my diet. I can't stop eating them!
