Lemon treats can be refreshing or overpowering in my opinion. I was a bit skeptical of liking these scones when I stumbled upon the recipe, but decided to give them a shot.Source: The Bread Bible: 300 Favorite Recipes by Beth Hensperger Ingredients:2 cups all-purpose flour2 tbsp sugar1 tbsp baking powdergrated zest of 2 lemons1/4 tsp…

Toasted Hazelnut Whole Wheat Scones
I made this scones the other week for a book club, and they were a big hit. As I sent all of them home with the ladies for their husbands (or themselves if they didn’t want to share), I don’t have one picture of them. What a failure I am! Regardless, they were a hit, and…
Cherry-Almond Scones
My good friend gave me a cookbook for Christmas this year (and yes, I opened it already, but with her permission), and there were some scone recipes in it that I just had to try out. The first one, a cherry-almond scone recipe which was pretty good. I didn’t take pictures this time, so you’ll…
Dark Chocolate Chip Scones
Apparently, I’m on a chocolate scone kick, as this was the recipe that jumped out at me from Tea and Crumpets. 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…

Raspberry-Filled Almond Scones
This recipe uses Raspberry Preserves to create a filled scone. I love almonds, so when I saw this recipe in Simply Scones by Leslie Weiner and Barbara Albright, I just had to try it. No question about it. In fact, it was the first recipe I tried out of the small, but potently-scone-recipe-packed book. Let’s…
Cinnamon Roll Scones
What a wonderful experiment! I had some Crème Fraîche in the fridge that really needed to be used up and decided to experiment this morning. Using what I had around, I threw together these cinnamon chip scones which I have dubbed “cinnamon roll scones” because they tasted and smelled like cinnamon rolls to me. I…
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…
Cream Tea Scones with Currants
A firm, crispy scone with a hint of sweetness in the Pearl sugar on top I was pleasantly surprised with these scones. They turned out with a beautiful sheen to them, and, coupled with the pearl sugar on top, a hint of sweetness. Since the recipe called for two eggs, I was a bit wary….
