One thing to love about brunch is all the variety of breakfast foods it can include. You can go traditional with pancakes and sausage or go out on a limb with mini quiche and asparagus hors d’oeuvres. But there is one brunch food that’s always a hit: the scone. They can be sweet, savory or somewhere in between, and always add the perfect touch to any meal. This makes Easter the ideal time to think about adding this treat to your brunch menu.
