Thought for the  day:

God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
Therefore, we will not fear,
even though the earth gives way
and the mountains are carried into the midst of the sea.

Psalm 46:1-2

  1. I have celiac/gluten intolerance family members. Would Bob’s Red Mill gluten 1;1 flour work instead all purpose flour? Sometimes, I know, they may not be interchangeable.

  2. Love the scones but mine spread out and don’t keep their round shapes. Am following the recipe exactly.
    Love all your recipes.

    1. Hi Barb, try adding 2 extra tablespoons of flour. Butter can have different water contents and that can make a difference.

  3. THESE ARE THE BEST SCONES I HAVE EVER EATEN MI MAKE ALL THE TIME EVERYBODY ALWAYS WANT RECIPE ,THANK YOU

  4. I am so excited to try your scone recipes! I just tried your biscuits today and they are amazing. I wanted to let you know I noticed there is an important typo (*we will NOT fear) in the verse. Love that verse!

    1. Hope you enjoy the scones, Emily. Thanks so much for the heads-up regarding the typo. I have corrected that! We definitely will NOT fear!!

  5. Thanks for the Bible verse. Back in 1972 I was assaulted and the Lord gave me this verse to hang onto, and it has been my go to verse ever since. Of course, I love the whole psalm, especially "Be still, and know that I am God."
    Thank you to you and your husband for your testimonies. I know that because I accepted Christ back in 1965 that He has been my stringth through many trials in my life!

    1. Thank you for sharing your story, Debbie! I love hearing that Christ is your strength.💕

    1. Hi Sue, if you look under each of the pictures above, there is a link for that particular recipe. Just click on the links and you will be taken to the recipes.

  6. I would like to make several different types of scones to take on a family vacation. At what point is it best to freeze them. Form the scone then freeze or bake then freeze? I assume I bake from frozen. Thank you

    1. For delicious, fresh scones, it's best to freeze them and then bake them right before serving. Have a wonderful vacation, Ellen!
