A hot breakfast is sometimes the best thing on a chilly January weekend. But who has time to make bacon, eggs and toast? Not me. Scones are easy, warm and delicious with butter melted on them.

- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit
- Stir flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl
- Add butter and mx until mixture looks like fine granules
