Happy Royal wedding day! I hope you guys are enjoying your weekend and enjoying the royal wedding and festivities!
We didn’t get up to watch the show, but of course we’re watching it after the fact. And…of course, in order to celebrate Meghan and Harry I made something! Pistachio Apricot Scones!
These scones are so delicious and so flavorful with a nutty saltiness from pistachio and a tart sweetness from the apricot both inside and on top. I also drizzled (or dumped) some vanilla glaze on top to bring it all together!
So whether your looking to celebrate the royal wedding today or your just looking for something delicious to make this weekend, check out the recipe below!
