Dessert-Super Scones for breakfast

Just had to share this recipe for super scones that someone shared on a chatboard.
SUPER SCONES

3 cups flour
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. salt
3/4 cups melted butter (real butter makes a huge difference)
12 tsp. raspberry jam
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup pecans
Mix first five ingredients, combine wet ingredients and add to dry ingredients with pecans. Mix lightly. Scoop batter out with a 1/4 cup measure onto baking sheet. Indent top of each scone with a teaspoon and put a teaspoon of jam on top. (Actually I put a little less than a teaspoon because it tends to run and spread. To be safe I will put 1/2 a teaspoon.) Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. Makes 12 scones. Enjoy!!!!

I can see how real butter would make all the difference in these. They sound so nummy!

They do sound good, but to me ALL recipes sound wonderful. When I am watching my in take all I want to do is EAT and THINK about food. I think it is time for me to exercise some more.
