A New Scone Recipe



I have a weakness for scones and have done pretty well not having them all the time. In fact I haven't made any this year. But on Mennonite Girls Can Cook they have an Apple Pie Scone recipe that looked yummy and I broke.
Had to make them, was going to yesterday after I got back from Tulsa but by the time I did we had a strong storm roll through. When there is lightening I have to unplug my modem and router, otherwise it can get fried. Which meant I could not get the recipe off their blog.
So this afternoon after coming back from being at Sager Creek Quilt Shop for a class, I made them. 
(I'll share the neat pattern we worked on tomorrow) 



They were good so I thought I would share this with you. They say it's okay to as long as I give them credit and link back to them. And if you get a chance you might want to go mennonite girls can cook because they have wonderful recipes and a large collections


APPLE PIE SCONES

2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup cold butter
1 1/2 cups finely chopped apple (tart apples such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith are best)
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 large egg
1 cup buttermilk
Glaze:
1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 to 1/2 cup icing sugar
Preheat your oven to 375°F. 
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, baking powder and baking soda.
Cut in the butter, using a pastry blender...or grate with a coarse grater and combine with fingertips. 
In separate bowl, add brown sugar and cinnamon to diced apple and stir to coat.  Add to dry ingredients and stir to distribute apple pieces throughout.
Whisk together the eggs and buttermilk.
Stir this mixture into the dry ingredients. 
Drop by large spoonfuls (ice-cream scoop) onto parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
Bake until golden...15 to 18 minutes.
While still warm, drizzle with glaze.  (Heat butter and milk together in microwave for 30 seconds on high. Add brown sugar and cinnamon and stir until sugar is melted. Stir in icing sugar a little at a time until smooth and desired thickness.)
 Yield: 1 dozen large scones.


Tip: Scones are best enjoyed fresh from the oven.  They do freeze well, however.  Just thaw, heat and serve. 

Hope you enjoy these. They are not overly sweet and I think the next batch I would add a little more cinnamon,  I love cinnamon.

  1. That does look yummy. My Guy makes scones for work fairly often, maybe I can get him to give this one a try.

  3. they look good - every time I have tried to make scones though they are kind of dry - the only time they are not is when they first come out of the oven

  4. They look and sound yummy. I am a great fan of scones, even savoury ones with soup so I am sure I will love them. I will certainly be giving them a go.

  5. That looks so good! Your picture reminds me of the apple crostata at Olive Garden, which is wonderful. I need to try your recipe!

Welcome friends to share a thought, I enjoy reading them and will try my best to reply back by email most of the time. But if you do not hear back it's because you are a no-reply blogger.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section          The joints you'll need will be 2 - 3/4" elbows 2 - 3/4" T's 2 - 3/4" to 1" T (this will be the base of the Feet) 4 - 1" elbow Also need pipe cutters (this cost me almost as much

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl cott

What's Up

Well that is a big question, what's up Seeing how I haven't posted since before the retreat I went to. So I will show what I did at the retreat and what I have been doing these past few days, which is this Log Cabin Christmas Tree  wall hanging I have the blocks completed and now it just a matter of getting them sewn together. I'll get to that tomorrow. While at the retreat I made this baby quilt top with the disappearing 4-patch block. I had a charm pack and used some "snow" fabric Kaufman snow is one of my favorite whites to use. It's white but not a stark, bright white, goes well with a majority of the fabric I've collected. I started late making my blocks for RCS14 First I wasn't sure what pattern I wanted to make and then with all that was going on the first part of the year, I didn't start until July. One quilt is using a quarter log cabin in solid colors. I made these at the retreat, have the other half t
