THE ROUNDUP: 3 Scone Recipes to Try This Weekend 👩‍🍳 🧀 🍓

Dreary January weekends are the perfect backdrop for baking. Chances are, you’re cookie-d out over the holidays, so scones are where it’s at. We’ve got three easy scone recipes, both sweet and savoury, to try with the kiddos. Just don’t be surprised if you’re compelled to binge-watch Downton Abbey (and you know the kids aren’t going to put up with that).

🥣 Cream Scones: These subtly sweet gems are the perfect vehicle for all manner of toppings, but the classic is a smear of fruity jam.
🥣 Scones with Currants and Honey: Believe it or not, these currant-studded beauties are gluten-free!
🥣 Basil and Aged Cheddar Scones: Add cheese to a scone and we’re in. It’s as simple as that.

For the instructions for each of these scones, just tap the recipe name. Make the Crawleys proud.
