Scones and biscuits are among my favorite bready items. A scone with a giant cup of coffee is such a special treat. I have yet to make them as wonderful (and dry) as the ones at Pannikin, but I will keep trying. These are dried cherry scones. The biscuits are rosemary and sage biscuits, best served with something hot and savory.
I started taking a new cooking series: BAKING. These were week one's accomplishments: Blueberry Streusel Muffins and Orange Currant Cream Scones. Plus the teacher demonstrated how to make and rustic-ly dressed carrot cake, which was delicious. I like the open sides (the rustic part), and will have to try it this way on the family recipe.
I have been a fan of the Orangette blog for years, and really enjoyed reading her book A Homemade Life. It was a lovely memoir, where food and family and memories intersect. The stories were endearing, and many of the recipes are included. One for Scottish scones had been on my to do list for months. I finally gave it a try and they were wonderful.
By the way those chunks of butter were brought home from Cheese-making Class. Fresh butter is so delicious!
