I got this recipe from a friend whose mother-in-law is Irish, so this really is a traditional Irish recipe, though originally for bread. My friend decided to switch them up and make scones and they are so good!

Also, I love (I mean, LOVE) having butter with my Irish Soda Bread, but with scones, I’ve got to have them with cream cheese. Drizzle it with honey to give it some sweetness.
