Happy Halloween Morn! To celebrate, I made some pumpkin scones using a popular recipe that’s said to be similar to the scones served at Starbucks. In the past, I’ve made these with add-ins such as butterscotch chips and pecans and omitted both glazes. This time, I made the scones as directed with both glazes. Well, [...]

These are like a cross between brownies, biscuits and shortbread – sweet (but not too sweet), flaky, crumbly around the edges and overall just really delicious. With all the chocolate, they’re good for dessert buy they’re light enough to where you can trick yourself into thinking they’re a halfway decent breakfast. And hey, if you make them with white whole wheat flour you can say they’re better than doughnuts! These are a definite repeater, though it will be a while because scones are a treat and it takes us a while to eat a batch. In fact, for this recipe I made it as directed, but only baked up 4 scones. The rest of the triangles were wrapped individually and frozen. In most cases, I’ve been able to bake scones “straight-from-frozen” by just adding a few extra minutes onto the cook time.

Around here, a splurge means scones. Fuzz loves the pumpkin ones best, but I decided to try a new flavor [...]

This recipe is adapted from one that’s supposed to be a Starbuck’s clone and which originally called for glaze and frosting. But I left off the toppings, added butterscotch chips and pecans, then sprinkled the tops with some vanilla icing sugar I brought home from Italy. I put the icing sugar container in the photo [...]

Today’s recipe is for my mom, who recently moved to town and has been enjoying more of my cookies. Since she lives alone, I’ve been giving her bags of frozen, pre-portioned rounds of dough and letting her bake the cookies herself. The other day she called to say how much she loves doing …

If you are looking for the best-ever oatmeal scone recipe, you’ve found it. That is, if you like your scones rich, sweet and buttery. These are better than what you’d find in most coffee shops and they don’t dry out as quickly as other scones. Thanks to Cooks Illustrated for coming up with the original [...]

It’s National Bundt Cake day, so I made some scones. I found the recipe on a site called Recipelink, where people were raving about it. The scones are supposed to be similar to the scones from Great Harvest, but I wouldn’t know because I’ve never tried any Great Harvest scones. They’re good, though — as [...]
