Gingerbread Scones

I love getting requests for scones from Hubby’s work. It takes the pressure off me to come up with a good idea for a recipe, and lets me know what they want! It’s wonderful. So when someone requested gingerbread scones, I was certainly up for the challenge! I had made them before, but they had turned…

Vanilla Bean Scones

Wow, sorry about that unexpected hiatus from the blog. November got away with me, what with a family road trip and other stuff that popped up. A lot of folks get busy during this time; I am no exception. Baking has had to take a back seat. However, I did make up a plain scone…

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…

Cranberry Oatmeal Cinnamon Chip Scones

I think I’m getting in the mood for Thanksgiving already, perhaps because the Canadians celebrated Thanksgiving earlier this month, and it’s one of my favorite holidays. The lack of commercialism, the focus on family and great food, the chance to hang out together, the excuse to overeat (although now that I’m pregnant, I find excuses…

Dairy Free Coconut-Pumpkin Scones

What could be more fall than pumpkin scones? Really, without pumpkin spices, pumpkin is just a rather bland squash, but throw in some cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, allspice, cloves…oh, and a bit of coconut perhaps, and you’ve got a winning combination.  I really enjoyed this latest pumpkin creation…it’s a thicker scone, not the typical buttery and flaky…

Caramel Apple Scones

Although a bit messy, these have a great, wintery flavorof caramel and apple. Since it’s fall, the trees are alight with colors, and the weather has taken a definite turn towards the bottom of the thermometer, I find myself searching for wintery recipes. As a result, and since it’s now October, I decided to try a…

Fresh Apple Cinnamon Chip Scones

It’s fall in the Pacific Northwest now. Which means a season of baked fruit pies and spices and pumpkin spice scones and spices and more spices. Two of my favorite spices are cinnamon and nutmeg, and what goes better with cinnamon and nutmeg than apple? Ingredients: 4 cups flour 2 tbsp baking powder 1 tsp salt 2 tsp…

Triple-Layer Cinnamon Scones

Triple-Layer Cinnamon Scones I absolutely love cinnamon. In pastries, in breads, sprinkled on apples…in scones… As a result, I have a heavy hand with the cinnamon in a lot of my recipes, often adding more than called for. This recipe I made up has plenty of cinnamon, and just enough sugar to make them sweet….

Fresh Peach Scones

Fruit scones are always light and airy, and when just out of the oven, I think they’re best. Most scones are traditional flavors with dried fruits like cranberries, currants, or raisins, but fresh fruits are also a possibility with scones. They are a minor bit more work, but always worth it in the end.Ingredients:3 cups…

Chocolate Truffle Scones

I love dark chocolate. Apparently people at my husband’s workplace do, too. At least, that seems to be the only thing explaining the two separate requests I got for Chocolate, Chocolate Chip Scones. So, I started thinking about why I avoid them, and came up with the fact that they always seem to be far…
