I came across a recipe for Calzone scones, which I immediately altered to fit my tastebuds. I find myself doing this with a lot of scone recipes, either because the original doesn’t sound good to me, or I’m out of some of the ingredients. Case in point. These Calzone scones out of the “Simply Scones”…

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

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…
