Fresh Strawberry & Basil Scones 

     

These are wonderful scones that we serve in the Inn & on our Homemade Breakfast Basket which is offered to guests staying in our Suites. Now that strawberries are in season & taste so good, they make these doubly good! Basil adds a bright touch that complements the berries! Straw basil scone

1 Tbs. baking powder

1/4 tsp. salt

1/2 cup butter, cut into chunks
