Gentle Friends, Sunday afternoon I was trying to decide what to bake and then hit on the idea of "scones." I've never tried to make them but have enjoyed them frequently...I did a little research and find that basically they are a couple of staple ingredients and not much to them...so I found a nice little recipe at King Arthur Flour for "Scone Nibbles" - chocolate chip glazed scones...
..... I did change the recipe to the full bag (12oz) of mini chocolate chips, and upped the butter with to an additional 2 Tbls.
.... I liked the idea of a cooling off period before baking to solidify the butter. I don't have a big freezer so I just sat the scones in the fridge for about 45 minutes.....
.... here they are cooling off......
..... after dipping in the glaze a drying period -
I also left out a Tablespoon of water only using 6 instead of 7.....
...... and they were a total hit with a nice cuppa tea!!

ReplyDeleteThose look de-lish! I love scones and make them often. I'll have to give these a try.
ReplyDeleteMmmmm, lovely!
ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite memories of Scotland is riding on the train, watching a little old lady pull a big thermos of tea out of her bag and pour a cup, then pull out two scones wrapped in well-used aluminum foil. She looked so happy munching her snack and drinking tea, so different than our lap-top computers, briefcases, and fast food!
If only I liked choclolate chips! Leave them out and they look delicious.

ReplyDeleteAh, this is more like it! lol! Those look soooooo good! And the chocolate chips make them even better! Have to get my DH to bake some for me.
ReplyDeleteThey look as good as they did without the words!
ReplyDeleteThey look lovely Edgar, but I'm not sure I could call them scones. (We are somewhat purist about our scones in Cornwall, they are always plain)
ReplyDeleteLooks yummy!
