Easter weekend, for me, was a lot of staying up late, getting up early and a little bit of overindulging. Saturday night I was up late prepping the dough for hot cross buns. Want a work out? Knead dough for 15 minutes straight! But they’re worth it!
Hot cross buns are best eaten right from the oven. I was good this year and only had one. Last year I think I ate six. I completely understand if you judge me for that.
We spent most of Sunday after church recuperating from too much sushi and sweets and I wanted something that tasted like “real food”. So I made these Tomato Feta Scones using the recipe that Alice from Savory Sweet Life shared with Etsy.
*Very Important: I think there is a typo in the recipe. It calls for a tablespoon of baking soda and I think it should be a teaspoon. I thought a tablespoon sounded like way too much baking soda but I followed the recipe and my scones have a super strong baking soda-y flavor. It’s not enough to wreck them, but next time I’ll for sure only be putting in a teaspoon. Other than that they smell and taste amazing!

Easter weekend was pretty much the same for me! I am also recuperating.
I made hot cross buns a week or so ago, they ARE hard work for something eaten so easily :)
That scone looks amazing, what I’d give for someone to make me some right now?
I hope you get some rest! and if you have a food processor these scones are a snap!
They both look delicious! Your blog is gorgeous :)
Aww thanks, Katie! Your blog is so lovely, too!
