Mango Biscuits/Scones

Recently, after all that heavy Christmas stuff, I feel like putting fruit in everything, just to get a more summer-like taste.
So last week I wanted to have scones and after a quick look in my freezer I decided to put some mango in it.
I always have some frozen fruit at home – besides all the fresh fruit, because you simple never know what you feel like eating and frozen is the next best to fresh
Since I’ve never had sweet biscuits, I wanted to turn my dish into a good mix between biscuits and scones and I was successful!
Fruity, refreshing, soft and fluffy with a slight crunch on the outside. Technically you can cut them open and spread something on it, but I didn’t feel the need for that!
