Notes

As is, these scones are not very sweet. I prefer eating them for breakfast. Feel free to sweeten them up as desired. (I would recommend starting with 1/4 coconut sugar) They taste great fresh out of the oven, or after having sat in the fridge for a day, take with you to work and re-heat. Icing is not sweet, but has a tang reminiscent of cream cheese.
