Arrrgghhhh! Not the dreaded SCONES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just when you thought it was safe to eat baked goods again...the scones return in an all out success story in the form of PUMPKIN scones. Varied recipe, added about a third cup p. to mix, some cinnamon and I lightened up on the sour cream...still a very sticky dough but didn't cave and add more flour and a good thing too because they were perfect. I cut out little circles and added a dollop of pumpkin (no added sweetener M) and then made these muffins....WOW. 1/2 fill with the dough, add a generous amount of pumpkin and top with more dough...really a winner. You can't really see in the pics, but the muffins are just stuffed with pumpkin. The combination of the scone and pumpkin are to die for. Needed ginger terribly but didn't have any! Where'd my ginger go?? Anyway, I can see these will be worth making again and I see a pumpkin pancake in the future for the kids as well...
HSC, I know you said muffins were better but I am going to have to get you a warm basket of these and see if you change your mind...

Scone-nabber

And there they go!!!

Fearless came on by today to pick up her prize...new contest will be much more difficult and NO using the internet to look things up!!! (honor system)

No cheating now...

Don't blow your integrity for a basket of scones people. Lol

J and I got laughing as we couldn't think of a question that one COULDN'T look up on the internet...we figure we'll come up with something. Love to all...

Goin' Scone Crazy

Scone happy...First photo is four different varieties we made yesterday. Blueberry (an all time fave most likely) cinnamon raisin, berry medley, and chocolate chip. We could do without the choc. chip believe it or not. It's just like a cookie and what's the point of that? Might as well make cookies. It totally wrecks the "scone" experience. The cinnamon raisin was similar but still delish. The berry medley (raisins, cranberries, cherries and strawberries) and the blueberry are the winners. Today after a breakfast of eggs. turkey bacon and toast we had blueberry FILLED scones with fresh whipped cream. What kind of lucky kids are these???
The tops slipped a bit but can easily be fixed next time with a well placed toothpick or two...We really want to try apple too...

Sconeliscious

Now, I have been trying to get scones made for some time now...and I must say, they were totally worth it. Much more difficult than I thought but just exactly (for once) what I thought they would and should taste like.
Even though I did not have cream of tartar which the recipe called for, I can't imagine what it would have done for them...Perfect!
These are blueberry but I cannot wait to vary them...
