I know, it’s technically still summer. But it sure feels like fall here in Michigan. The cool temps are quite refreshing and perfect for baking.
These Sage and Blackberry Scones were a real treat over the long weekend.
I’m not sure about you, but I really enjoy a nice cup of coffee with a savory treat or two. Cover me up with a light blanket on the couch, and I’m content. Except, it wouldn’t last very long. Ahhh the mom life! Luckily I have a decent imagination.
These Sage and Blackberry Scones are a real treat paired with a cup of coffee. Pure buttery goodness!
Anyways, I love how versatile the base dough of scones can be. The sky is the limit with what you mix in there. Make it sweet, salty, or perfectly savory. It melts in your mouth and it will definitely impress your guests or your husband. 😉
Give them a try and let me know what you think.
