Huckleberry Scones

So... once again, I'm having a moment where I'm obsessed with huckleberries.

A few weeks ago, my husband and I went exploring the Montana mountains and unexpectedly came back with a coffee can full of little purple beauties.

I'm a sucker for any and all pastries so naturally I had to incorporate these huckleberries into some sort of baked good. I decided to try my hand at making scones, (something I had never attempted before.) I discovered that not only are these scone relatively easy to make, but they are wonderfully delicious, good for a quick snack on the go, and even better for dessert. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

Let me know what you think! xo.
