Sweet Cranberry Cornbread Scones
I started getting creative with this recipe, I fear. Cornbread scones with soy milk, crème fraîche and dried cranberries. Hmm. It was a toss up as to how this was going to emerge. However, I survived, and actually enjoyed them, a big surprise to me, since I’m not a big fan of cornbread.Ingredients: 1/4 cup…
Basic Blueberry Scones
Blueberries are not my favorite berry. In fact, they are one of my least favorite. However, dried blueberries were on sale at my local grocery store the other week, and I grabbed a couple packets, thinking I could use them for some scones. I’m glad I did, for these turned out quite yummy. I don’t…
Mascarpone Cherry Scones
This was one of those days where I wanted to make scones, but I didn’t quite have the right ingredients for any recipe. So, I made up my own. I had some Mascarpone cheese in the fridge needing to be used, and an excess of dried cherries. Ingredients:2 cups all purpose flour8 oz Mascarpone cheese1/2…

Rosewater Crème Fraîche Scones
In trying to clean out my fridge before vacation, I realized I’d purchased some Crème Fraîche on sale a short time ago and not used it. I had a rosewater scone recipe lying around, and thought this might be the perfect addition to what otherwise might be a bland recipe. The result was richness…
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…
Pumpkin and Parmesan Scones
I was skeptical about these scones. Pumpkin and Parmesan? Really? Isn’t pumpkin supposed to taste like pumpkin pie, with nutmeg and cinnamon? Well, this recipe just proves that pumpkin doesn’t always have to be sweet. And that pairing it with Parmesan can actually be a winning combination.Ingredients:100 g pumpkin purée200 g all purpose flour2 tsp…
