Country Fair Scones Aka Elephant Ears
Serve them the traditional way with sugar and cinnamon, huckleberry jam, powdered sugar and butter, or homemade maple frosting, etc...
They pair well with soup or chowder, or just for dessert. This recipe makes enough for a crowd (it is the original so it had to be big) but can be a 1/2 batch easily.
