It appears winter has dug its heals in and is refusing to give way to spring. One perk I’ve discovered from the lingering cold is my tendency to crave homemade baked goods (and therefore actually make them!).
I made these yummy Cinnamon Bun Scones last weekend, and they were devoured! If the weather remains cold and dreary I might find myself whipping up another batch soon.
The recipe is from my friend Lindsay who I introduced to you last week. (I have made some adjustments for our food allergy considerations.)
Why don’t you whip some up real quick? You know you want to. Go ahead put some coffee on, too. Then while you nibble and sip, head on over to Lindsay’s blog to say thanks!

Notes and Food Allergy Tips:
*I used 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour. Wheat allergy sufferers, see this site for gluten-free, all-purpose flour replacement.
**Milk allergy: replace with equal amount soy, rice, or almond milk. (I’ve heard you can also replace with fruit juice, but haven’t tried it.)
***Egg allergy: I used Ener-G Egg Replacer instead of egg. For more egg substitution ideas, go here.
