Cranberry Scones Recipe

This is my go-to recipe for scones. It is delicious, and the Devonshire cream makes it even better! I like that this recipe incorporates the Valentine’s day symbol of the heart, as well as the colors of red and white. You can visit our Valentine’s Day Symbols page to learn more about the symbolism and meaning of hearts, as well as the colors of red and white.
