I've really been into scones lately. I used to view scones as very time consuming and not worth the trouble, but boy was I wrong! Scones are so versatile! This original recipe only called for maple syrup and quick oats, but instead I used steel cut oats and blueberries and they turned out great! You could also substitute the blueberries for anything you have on hand, even raisins.
