Batch breakfast? Or something?

[aj]

Not exactly a lunch, but extremely handy as an on-the-go breakfast. Basically, I got this tip out of a book called "Basic Baking" where the writer mentioned baking a batch of scones on Sunday and freezing the rest so that they stay fresh for the rest of the week. I separated them out into individual baggies and it works like gangbusters. I'm including a cinnamon scone recipe that I made earlier this week. Still, scone recipes are pretty versatile, so it's pretty easy to substitute the cinnamon with ginger and add candied ginger, or half a bag of chocolate chips.
