THE SCONE:

A scone done right is my ultimate morning pick-me-up—and when it's really spot-on, it doubles up as a surprise dessert that'll have everyone asking for seconds! Picture this: fresh berries (blackberries or raspberries jazzed up with ginger, lemon zest, and a sprinkle of mint or thyme) nestled atop a fluffy scone, crowned with a dollop of whipped cream.

Now, let's talk about versatility—scones are the chameleons of pastries! Sweet, savory, or somewhere in between, the possibilities are endless. Keep it seasonal and get inspired at the farmer's market—whether it's chives and fresh feta or figs and tangy orange zest, let your creativity run wild!

Pro tip: Just like a refreshing cold plunge, the key to scone success lies in keeping everything as cold as possible, it will help with; gluten perfection, and that oh-so-delightful flakiness.

Oh, and a little heads-up—my recipes steer clear of refined sugar. Maple syrup or honey are my go-tos, but hey, feel free to switch it up as you please!
