OK PJ, so, as I was reading your blog, I love when you were checking out the in-store bakery that you were also taking notes. What really struck me as funny was your thought after scoping the "bland" vanilla scone, You quickly thought "I can do better than that!" and do... I However, (although I do not yet have your level of culinary and baking expertise) always say, "Oh, I can do that" when I see foods that I like. So, I just finished the above recipe for my kiddos to have in the morning. A sweet surprise before church! They will love them especially with the glaze. In our "test" kitchen, I am always trying new things. Which is why some of my scones were "more brown" than others because I did not cut in similar sizes. But my family will eat those too! Thank you so much for providing encouragement and lots of recipes. I love this place!!!
Hi Susan - There's never a failure in baking - somone (if only the birds!) will enjoy whqtever you make. We each have our own test kitchens - mine just happens to where I spend most of my time - talk about a good job.. Glad your kids enjoyed the scones - and keep on testing! PJH
