Ina Garten’s recipes doesn’t skimp on flavor, and these tasty scones are no exception. With a full pound of butter and about a million calories in each one (ok, maybe not a million…) these probably shouldn’t be in the regular breakfast repertoire, but they make a wonderful treat for a weekend brunch party. It’s an [...]
I remember when oat bran muffins became all the rage as a health food in the late 1980s.

My mother-in-law makes this every year for St. Patrick’s Day, and we have continued [...]

“Decadent” is the only way to describe these. The syrup is rich and so easy to make, and these make a fantastic Sunday morning breakfast or brunch. I’m partial to White Lily Self-Rising Flour for pancakes and biscuits. Maybe it’s my Southern upbringing, but that soft winter wheat just seems to make the best, lightest [...]
