Strawberry-Maple Scones

Gasp! Strawberry season came early this year, and here I am allowing this scones recipe to sit unpublished in my blog archives! What have I been doing with my time? Oh, that’s right, parenting. I guess there are some things worth sacrificing scones for… But these scones were pretty good. Slices strawberries, sweet maple, hearty…

Blueberry Lavender Scones

Wow. Somehow last week disappeared into oblivion! Until this morning, I fully believed I had posted a scone recipe last Tuesday. Mea culpa. That said, I have decided to begin posting every two weeks (I hope). The reason for this is simple: I’m expecting my first child in under a month. I doubt that, with…

Blood Orange Double Chocolate Scones w/Blood Orange Butter

Oooh, deliciousness. Yes, you read that title right. Blood Orange Double Chocolate Scones. Yum. Yum. YUM!

They are a minor bit more work, but always worth it in the end.Ingredients:3 cups…

Fresh Cherry Scones

Baking scones is always more enjoyable when there’s someone to share them with. And, it helps when I get a taste-tester who enjoys partaking in the results of a new scone recipe. Every filled scone recipe I have made prior to this one has turned out soupy and disappointing. But, finally, I managed to get…
