As the holidays approach, hundreds of bags are labeled and sacks stamped at Highland Gourmet Scones by our Oak Mountain High School student. He also got to experience a scone for the first time! Now, in case you don't know exactly what a scone is, it's a bit like a "cookie", but it's really more of a short-bread, but not exactly. It's not quite a "tea cake", and even our British friends wouldn't call it a "biscuit". They are not too sweet, not too fruity, and very, very big. You can eat them any time you'd eat a cookie (and a lot of times you wouldn't). Some like them cold, but a few seconds in a microwave makes them seem even more heavenly to some people. |
