TWD: Rewind!

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 was just looking for a scone recipe to use this morning. Was leaning toward the cream scones, but maybe...
