We Love Dessert Recipes

We love desserts here at BubbaPie.  Any kind of dessert is welcome in our home.  Hot Desserts, cold desserts, rich desserts and light desserts are all perfectly fine with us.  But, now that the winter is finally (hopefully) starting to wind down, we are looking forward to eating some desserts that focus around fresh fruit.

What Is a Scone?

I’m from a town that had a restaurant that made the best scones in the world.  So I grew to develop a  tastes for really good, tasty scones.  So, what is a scone?  A scone is actually a lot like a biscuit.  The only difference is that scones are usually made with eggs and biscuits aren’t.  But the result is generally the same for both in that the pastry itself isn’t too sweet.

This is what I like best about scones.  They get the sweet or savory flavor from the fillings and toppings that you use with them, not from the pastry themselves.  This is great if you don’t want a dessert that is too rich, sweet or overbearing.  Comfort food doesn’t always have to be heavy or rich.  It just has to be comforting!  So we thought that BubbaPie would be a great place to present an Easy Strawberry Scones Recipe.
