Every weekday morning I eat the exact same thing for breakfast. Some may say I'm a creature of habit, but I like to say it's because I don't have to think about what to make every morning! But the weekends allow me time to bake a breakfast and enjoy with a cup of coffee...mmm.
Recently I tried 2 scone recipies. One I liked, the other I didn't.
Easy Scones (from Woman's Day November 1, 2011)
3 cups self-rising flour
3/4 cup lemon-lime soda
3/4 cup heavy cream (I used 1/2 & 1/2)
-Heat oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-Place the flour in a large mixing bowl and make a well in the center. With a fork, gently stir in the soda and cream, mixing untl incorporated (do not overmix).
-Drop 8 large spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with raw or granulated sugar, if desired, and bake until golden brown, 18-20 minutes. Serve warm with butter and honey or jam.
I was skeptical when I started. So few ingredients and it would taste good? They were ok - they were better with apple & peach butters :-D
Glazed Cinnamon Scones (from Money Saving Mom)
Scone:
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup butter
1 egg, separated
3 Tbl honey
1/3 cup buttermilk (or 1/3 cup milk mixed with 1/2 tsp of lemon juice)
Crumb Topping:
1-2 Tbls sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Glaze Ingredients
1 cup powdered sugar
1-3 tsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
-Preheat oven to 400F. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut in
butter until mixture is crumbly.
-In a separate bowl mix egg yoke, honey and buttermilk. Add to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
-Form dough into a ball on a floured surface. Roll or pat out to 1/2" in thickness and 8" in diamete. Cut into 8 equally sized pieces.
-Transfer to a greased baking sheet. Whisk the egg white until froth forms and brush over the tops of scones. Mix sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over egg-white-topped-scones.
-Bake for 10-12 minutes.
- Mix together powdered sugar, milk and vanilla until glaze forms. Drizzle over scones after they bake.
I simply sprinkled sugar and cinnamon over the dough. And I skipped the glaze (toooo sweet!). LOVED these!
