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…

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…

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…
