Of course, I make everything as low sugar as possible, but these scones come in at just one teaspoon of sugar per scone. And since I allow myself up to 6 teaspoons of sugar in a 24-hour period, well, I could have six of them if I wanted to! :D Jean | DelightfulRepast.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02038772991628796917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131812739348646014.post-57885987820626908042021-05-20T07:11:41.697-07:002021-05-20T07:11:41.697-07:00Oh my, these strawberry scones look scrumptious, a...Oh my, these strawberry scones look scrumptious, and look at those rose plates you served them on! Those are gorgeous. I first tried scones at a friend's house. She had them with tea, and ever since then, I was hooked, cause they seem to have less sugar than cookies or cake. <br /> The dishes you share are always fantastic, Jean.<br /><br />~SheriRed Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131812739348646014.post-78335017475788353942021-05-14T14:48:52.075-07:002021-05-14T14:48:52.075-07:00Thanks so much, Dee!
