Chocolate Peppermint Crunch Scones

Chocolate Peppermint Crunch Scones

Thanks to a commenter on my Facebook page, I was reminded of this wonderful Peppermint Scone recipe that I’d created back in 2016 (according to my notes). As I’ve mentioned before, when I switched website hosting services, I, unfortunately, lost a great deal of my recipes. Some probably have disappeared forever, while others were in my personal notebook where I develop recipes.

However, when…

Vanilla Bean Scones with Rum Vanilla Bean Icing

Vanilla Bean Scones with Rum Vanilla Bean Icing

Is there anything better than vanilla scones? Oh, maybe vanilla bean scones. With vanilla bean icing–oh, and a hint of rum. Because otherwise you have to ask (in Captain Jack Sparrow’s voice) “Where has the rum gone?!”

So yeah, back to our original question. Vanilla bean scones. Perhaps a better title would be Vanilla Bean CREAM scones. Because, yeah, there’s a lot of cream in there. No butter,…

Gingerbread Scones w/Maple Icing

Gingerbread Scones w/Maple Icing

Gingerbread scones are a difficult thing to get right. To be honest, I’m still not sure I’ve gotten them down.

 I always find that the molasses in the recipe drags the scones down–literally. The resulting scones don’t have the rise or the fluff that scones should have, and so they’re left rather dense and flatbread like. It’s certainly not the texture I want in a scone, and when my scones don’t…

Had the hubby drop off some of these puppies today (Vanilla Bean Scones with Rum Vanilla Bean Icing), and already heard good things. Gotta say, the flavor may sound bland, but they’re delicious!

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Scones

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Scones

Gluten-free scones are a trick. They absolutely don’t taste like the real thing–ever. No recipe I’ve tried has been as flakey and buttery as the real thing.

BUT that doesn’t mean I stop trying to find a “perfect” gluten-free scone.

Half the time, that means I indulge in the real thing, while the other half, that means I pull out thirty ingredients to make something I could make with about five.…

Pomegranate Orange Scones

So…I have a confession to make. 

I cheated on this recipe. 

In a couple of ways, actually. Allow me to explain. 

1. I didn’t come up with this flavor combination on my own. 

2. I used an existing recipe and adapted it to a scone recipe.

3. I used my new Vitamix. (While perhaps not technically cheating, it feels like cheating because I’m used to fighting with my blender to actually blend anything…

Maple Pecan Scones

Maple and pecans. Sweet and nutty. 

It’s kinda like a cinnamon roll, but then, not really. Not at all, actually.

But it’s a popular flavor, nonetheless. 

As someone who doesn’t really care for nuts, especially of the softer variety, I don’t tend to get excited about baked goods with nuts in them. (The one exception for me is almond. Because, well, almonds.) 

So…

Are you ready for the recipe to…

GF Eggnog Cinnamon Chip Scones

GF Eggnog Cinnamon Chip Scones #glutenfree #sconerecipe #fortheloveofscones

As some of you have probably noticed, the blog has undergone some changes. Unfortunately, in transferring my domain over to WordPress, I lost about two years of scone recipes that I’d posted on the site. Yeah. It’s a bit of a shock.

So please bear with me as I get things resituated. It might be some time before all the recipes return, but if there’s a favorite recipe you liked and miss, feel free…

Gluten Free Eggnog Cinnamon Chip Scones

Gluten Free Eggnog Cinnamon Chip Scones

Christmas (and New Year’s) has come and gone. And I don’t even want to look back upon my 2019 New Year resolutions. Surely I got some of it checked off, right? I’m just going to go with that.

But I did manage to keep two kids alive and survive that journey, so there’s that…

It’s been maybe a year and a half since I went gluten-free. I’ve dabbled in it before, but it wasn’t until I got pregnant…

So these ingredients became Salted Caramel Double Chocolate Scones. When I get my act together (I.e. when the kids give me time), the recipe will go up on the blog. #scones #foodblogger #recipe #sconelover #sconerecipes #sconesandtea via Instagram https://ift.tt/2Kq8uNw

Someone needs to tell Pinterest that “deserts” are not the same as “desserts.” 🙄 Oddly, if you put in “desert,” you get actual deserts. Isn’t that mind blowing? 😂 #fail #desertnotdessert via Instagram http://ift.tt/2H0YPLB

The mystery ingredient that no one guessed was pomegranate! But some good guesses gave me some inspiration for new scone recipes...we’ll have to play this game again soon! #pomegranateorange #scones #fortheloveofscones #sconesandtea
