Dad’s Day
June 11, 2019
For Fathers Day, why not treat Dad to these delectable scones filled with dried fruit for his wake up call. He just may have to have more than one! Dads deserve special treats on their big day and these scones will not disappoint. They are beefy, dense and full of dried fruit and nuts. Mix up your own combination of dried fruits or even fresh like raspberries and blueberries. Dads rule.
