lemon scones

I love scones, but they always seemed like a pain to make.

Then I tried making Pioneer Woman's vanilla bean scones...

which didn't work out, but it led to a pretty awesome buttermilk biscuit recipe.

(and of course, I learned you can't substitute buttermilk for cream)

And finally... finally... I came up with a lemon version based off PW's recipe.

buttermilk biscuits

I can't think of many foods more comforting than a warm biscuit, right out of the oven.

Smothered in butter at the dinner table? Delightful.

Drenched in in my Uncle's secret gravy recipe? Even better.
