Family Scone Mix - Homemade Mixes

Tweet

I love to have my homemade mixes in the pantry ready to use on a moments notice. I hate commercial mixes because they have additives that I dont want my family to consume. The first recipe is for the mix. You can store it in a quart jar, in a ziploc bag, or any other airtight container. The mix is better than the commercial mixes but you do not have the pretty package. It is very important to make sure that you include the directions to use when making the scones from the mix. This makes a great gift. I keep them in my pantry all the time. I just use regular chocolate chips cut in half instead of the mini ones The second recipe is for the family scones. Enjoy and share with someone that you love. I love these scones dipped in butter hunny. Yummy!
