Author Notes
My April 2015 diagnosis of early onset Diabetes II has also been a grand adventure in cooking, learning to think and make in totally new ways. These scones have become my favorite go-to food for a mid-morning snack with coffee. I’ve carried these, individually wrapped up and stuffed in my backpack, for a week, even while on extended travel in places such as Indonesia and China. This recipe freely adapted from:
