A light, lemony glaze tops these already delightful scones. With just a hint of sweetness and tangy flavor from the sourdough.

Scones

Scones are super simple to make and can be made in just about any flavor combinations. My favorite ways to make scones is with fresh or dried fruit. Even though I have been experimenting with the savory scone versions also. Savory scones are super with stew and/or stews. They can also be used in place of a roll or bun in sandwiches. With so many different ways to make scones, you could make a different scone for every day of the year!

Recipe Note:
This recipe is slightly adapted from the wonderful blog Life on Cloake Hill. I found this blog in my quest to find a scone that used sourdough and blueberries in the recipe. While there, I was amazed at the amount of scone recipes I found  on their blog. Many, if not all of them, were definitely worth trying. Stop by Life on Cloake Hill and check it out. Tell them Lynn sent you:)
