Well, this is one scone recipe that Hubby talked up to everyone at work before I sent them in. So much so that I sincerely hoped it lived up to expectations when they arrived–I was actually a bit nervous. I fully intended to jump this recipe to the top of the blogging queue, but the…

Lemon-Blueberry Ricotta Scones
This is one of those recipes that I was quite apprehensive about trying. But…I got a request for something “wild and crazy,” and ricotta fruit scones sounded a bit adventurous to me without being guaranteed to be a total flop. Lemon and blueberry obviously complement each other well. So the only real adventure in this…
Coffee-Almond Scones
This past Christmas, I was thrilled to receive a scone and biscuit cookbook that a) I had never heard of, and b) had a lot of good-sounding recipes. This is one that I pulled from it and adapted to better match my tastes. The cookbook itself, called “Biscuits and Scones” by Elizabeth Alston. Now, if…
Pumpkin Spice Scones
Pumpkin scones are tasty all times of the year, but especially in Fall. It’s November. Granted, it’s nearly the end of November, and I’ve let nearly all of the month slip away with nary a holiday scone post. So here are some pumpkin scones to spice up the holiday season. (It may not be October…

Rosemary & Black Olive Damper
I enjoy a good slice of Focaccia bread, so when I stumbled over this recipe in Scones by Genevieve Knights, I thought it was worth a try. I did have to substitute canola oil for soya oil and minced garlic for garlic cloves, as I misread the recipe. Ingredients:1 head of garlic or 2 tbsp…
Dark Chocolate Chip Scones

I’ve never made a chocolate scone that tasted as good as it looked, and this was no exception. So after this attempt, I’m still in search of the ideal chocolate scone.*I altered this recipe, adding…

Cranberry-Orange Scones
Honestly, this picture does not do these scones justice. Too bad I ate them all and can’t take another… Um…there are no words to describe how delectable these were. And I’m absolutely certain it has something to do with the 10 tablespoons of butter it calls for… At least the buttermilk was low fat…So, let’s just…
Almond Buttermilk Scones
I don’t know about you, but I love almond flavoring. I’m not a big fan of nuts, but almond flavor, I absolutely adore. I made this recipe up in the hopes of getting an almondy scone that would make my mouth water. This one, I think, has potential. Give it a try and tell me…
