Since it's a holiday week, and since we'll all be doing a lot of cooking and baking, it was decided that this week's TWD would be a rewind. That means that we can either go back and bake something that we missed or revisit an old favorite. I went with an old favorite.
It's the first day of winter break here, and I thought scones would start the vacation on a nice note. One of my favorite scone recipes is the Honey Nut Scone that we first made (ok, I went through my archives and I couldn't find it - anyone?) This is a lovely, slightly sweet, nutty scone. It calls for whole wheat flour in addition to white flour. Dorie's recipe uses walnuts, but I don't like them and I had almonds in my cabinet that needed using.
These are delicious. They were wonderful warm right out of the oven with nothing added. I don't think that butter or jam would have improved them.
Have a wonderful holiday!

I do love scones. Everyday would be brighter if started with a scone!
I love Dorie's scones - different to what I am used to here. Happy holidays!
I was just looking for a scone recipe to use this morning. Was leaning toward the cream scones, but maybe...
I love a good scone and these look tasty! I like how golden brown they are!
Happy Holidays!
Oh those look perfect for a cold day, yum!
I love scones! And Dorie's are the best!

Happy Holidays to you and your family!
