Glaze when it comes out of the oven :) 

* I added a 1/4 cup of white chocolate chips to this batch, but I would omit in future batches  

We ate these along with many other yummy brunch items at our family Easter on Saturday! 

Girls WON again this year for the Easter egg scavenger hunt and I think the boys will be out for blood next year. 

I hope your Easter is full of scones, bunnies and a reminder that bc Jesus loves you SO much he conquered death so that we can fully live.
