Homemade Scones

I have this great friend that I met through my eldest ginger prince.  It is one of his friends mom.  She is a fantastic cook (good thing she invites me over!).  Lucky for me she shared one of her recipes with me for homemade scones.  I was in love with the first buttery bite.  Then to add strawberry jam on top...whoa.

I thought I would share this treat with you all as I just whipped it up this morning.
