My sister knows I like to bake so inevitably I will find baking mixes somewhere in gifts she gives to me. Today I thought I would try a blueberry scone mix. I tend to create when creating. I added chopped dried cherries to this mix, I thought the cherries would compliment the blueberries. So, I have found it is harder then you think to find the pretty sugar scones are often baked with as a little extra sweetness on top of the scones. So, after searching for this special sugar I went to Publix to see if they have that type of sugar because they bake their orange cranberry scones with it adorned on the scone top. It was so sweet of the bakery to give me a little bit of this sugar to bake with.
I sprinkled some on top of the dough before baking the scones. today. The recipe also called for dropping a spoonful on a baking sheet. See, in the meantime I did a little scone baking research. I started off looking for a scone baking pan. I then stumbled upon this ... I put all of the dough on a baking sheet but then divided the dough to make 8 scones instead of maybe 12 if you followed the recipe directions. I think they look like scones what do you think?
I have 1 more mix left now and it is raspberry flavored. I will be making scones again since I expereinced it today and found them not hard to make. You can create even within a creative mode of baking. You try something out and if it works great, if not, you learned from the experience. I did find I needed to bake them about 5 minutes longer then the recipe direction called for. When 15 minutes were up I checked on the scones. I noticed I needed to separate each one again before the final 5 minutes of baking. Life can be so much fun if you look at it with eyes of beauty.
