St. Patrick’s Day is the perfect time to celebrate any Irish heritage you may have, but honestly, scones are one of my favorite treats year round. I love this recipe for authentic Irish scones – they make a great perfect breakfast treat or afternoon snack with tea. I love these because they aren’t too sweet and are quite filling. Try them for St. Patrick’s Day, but don’t forget about them year-round!
