I've never been much of a scone lover (though I won't pretend I haven't occasionally devoured a 5,000-calorie Maple Oat Nut Scone from Starbucks). But a reader friend recently sent me a recipe, and while I didn't have all the ingredients on hand to make the specific one she sent, it stirred my interest. T'would be quite lovely if I had a go at baking some scones!, I thought to myself in a British accent. (Am I mistaken, or are you always supposed to speak and think thoughts in a fake British accent when dealing with scones??) And what DID I have on hand? Chocolate chips. Oh yes, those are always on hand.
I found this recipe, and quite enjoyed the addition of lemon zest it called for. (Fake British Accent Tip: say "quite" a lot.) They turned out great. Perfect for breakfast with tea and crumpets. What the hell is a crumpet, by the by.
dry ingredients, butter, lemon zest...
(I didn't have buttermilk and used heavy cream instead...)
scone dough...
pizza pie...
milk and sugar glaze...
bite...
