Can I use some whole wheat flour in your scone recipe? I think this dessert sounds like something I want on a lazy weekend morning when we want a sweet treat to go with our bacon for brunch. I love late morning meals on the weekend when you can combine sweet and salty dishes to satisfy all of your cravings.
