Reviews forGingerbread Scones with Lemon Butter
My Review

"These are 5 star scones! YUMMY! I can't wait to serve them to my friends at our next tea time get together! After reading the ingredients of another scone recipe I received in my daily TOH email, I knew it was not what my family would enjoy. It did not include allspice or ginger! I was delighted to find this recipe on the same site! It is definitely moist yet flakey. The lemon butter was super on top! Although, I substituted honey for the sugar for health reasons, it was a deliciousness without feeling guilty! Highly Recommended! This recipe will not disappoint."
