The Tenor Chef

Today’s bake was inspired by the slightly-past-their-prime container of mixed berries in my refrigerator, a bit of left over buttermilk from a previous recipe, and the antique cake stand my mom brought me when she visited last month: ’s Mixed Berry Scones!

When I was a graduate student in New York, I would often visit Alice’s Tea Cup, a dainty, elegant “Alice in Wonderland” inspired tea shop on the Upper West Side. I loved the baked goods, and their cookbook has been one of my favorites ever since. These scones are quite moist from the buttermilk and berries, only slightly sweet, and perfectly buttery. They came together with ingredients that I had on hand, so no trip to the grocery store was necessary. I love this antique cake stand my mom gave me, and I wanted to bake something special to feature it. The embossed details on the surface are so beautiful. I hope everyone has a lovely weekend—bake something delicious! ❤️
