"This recipe is inspired by my days working the morning shift at Baked & Wired, a bakery in Washington, D.C. There was no better surprise than being handed a scone, fresh from the oven, while I whipped up the first batch of cupcakes for the day at 7 am. The recipe is forgiving of whatever fresh ingredients you have, but I particularly like the combination of scallions, bacon, and goat cheese. If you don’t have buttermilk, squeeze a little lemon juice into whole milk for an easy substitute. #stayhomekeepcooking"
