Part of our Holiday Gifts for Food Lovers series.
Why try? This impressive gift makes a great last minute gift with standard pantry items you probably have in your cupboard. Dry biscuit mix such as Bisquick®, nuts and packaged sweetened dried fruit makes it quick and easy to put this “from the heart” gift together. Be sure to include a copy of recipe directions with your gift.
Foodie Byte: Traditionally associated with afternoon English tea, scones are actually very similar to American biscuits but with a sweeter flavor profile and distinctive wedge shape.
