It’s been a hot minute since I shared something sweet and a warm tasty pastry was sounding good! It is officially zucchini season so get ready for a lot of zucchini filled recipes! My last trip to the farmer’s market left me with oodles of fresh zucchini. I got to the farmers market at the tale end and one of the vendors insisted I take the rest of her zucchinis. So, now I have all this zucchini that I have to use up! I have been baking with it, added it to my oats the other morning and sauteed it so far. I have some other recipe ideas to use it up so stay tuned!
These scones would be the perfect addition to your morning coffee or tea, weekend brunch, or any occasion where warm pastries are a must.
