Making Homemade Scone Mixes

Do you bake more in winter than in summer. If you are a typical cook, you do. Because it just gets too hot in the kitchen in summer.  Do you just think of making your own mixes at Christmas? Many people make more mixes at Christmas because they give them as gifts. Why not save some money and make your own mixes. I have done this for years. I have posted many of these mix recipes in the past. However, I thought you may enjoy some new ones. Make your own mixes, save money, save time and keep your family happy at the same time. Isn't that what we all want?

If you still insist, you can give them as gifts. :)

I don't know anyone who does not like Scones. Homemade scones are simply the best. This recipe is so easy to make. It is great to keep some of the mix on hand for those times you want some quick Scones. Never purchase Commercial Scone Mixes again. Remember to add the directions to the packages of mixes. Enjoy
