I absolutely love scones. I don't care if it's blueberry or strawberry. I found an incredible recipe for scones in a HI VEE's Grocery store. I had never been to one in my life and loved it immediately. It is a great store. The buffet is really a great place to eat.
I love their display of veggies in the produce area. If you have never been its worth going. On the way out there is a free HYVEE magazine filled with great ideas and recipes. That is where I found this amazing recipe.Enjoy!
