Steven’s been requesting scones for a couple of weeks now, and I finally made some yesterday. I wanted to give my scones a twist, so I decided to create some Milk Tea Scones. I have to say, although these scones were good and full of tea flavor, it was lacking the Milk Tea essence. The only form of liquid in this recipe is sour cream and an egg, so it was lacking the milk flavor. I must give this recipe some research and modify it. 🙂
