MINI SWEET POTATO SCONES WITH ROSEMARY & BACON



Mini Sweet Potato Scones with Rosemary & Bacon image

Everyone who tries these scones thinks they're delicious! To save a little time in the morning, combine the dry ingredients and cut in the butter the night before. I usually stir in the crumbled bacon at that time, too. Cover and refrigerate overnight and proceed with the recipe the next morning. In addition to saving time, this also allows the rosemary and bacon to come through, and chilling the butter in the mix results in tender scones. -Sue Gronholz, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin
