You know what it’s like the day after Thanksgiving—sluggish from the previous night’s feast. And especially if you did the lion’s share of the cooking, tired from bustling between food prep, hosting and maybe cleaning.
So here to help you with the day-after breakfast meal is an easy, make-ahead scone.
This is the kind of scone you can make the night before and serve the next day. Sure, it’s not as crumble-y, but the trade-off is a more moist scone that is almost cake-like in texture. The Bisquick keeps it soft and tender. And beyond that, it’s full of flavor and bursting with blueberry brightness.
Now that you are one recipe further with options for staying ahead this holiday season, don’t forget to #GetYourBettyOn and check out the links below to see other ideas and recipes that will also keep you ahead of schedule.
