    🍓 Remember the day this summer when my mom call 🍓 Remember the day this summer when my mom called me asking for baking advice about scones? (it’s in history books listed as an important event) It had happened at the perfect time, having just made scones myself. It was strawberry season, and wanting to make some 🍓 scones, I quickly made up a batch using one of the first highly rated recipes I found online. I honestly knew my mistake before making the recipe, but I didn’t realize the outcome would be so bad. I ended up throwing out the entire batch and picked a different recipe, this time with delicious results. I’m sharing my (obvious) findings today over at @handletheheat 🤯
    Happy 4th birthday, Pudsy! 🥳 Our lives wouldn’t be the same without your sweet self ❤️
