Like you, PJ, I also prefer to bake from scratch. Scones are my specialty (I have that magic biscuit-maker's touch, apparently) and I love to stock the freezer with scones to use at my leisure. However, I totally see the appeal of these flavored scone mixes! That is very interesting to see all the different applications beyond the basic scone recipe. Never would have thought you could make pancakes from a scone mix. The French Toast mix sounds delicious and looking at the ingredients, I see there isn't much in the way of "extras" like preservatives and other strange ingredients that you find on the typical box mix. Looks like a good thing to tuck away in the pantry for those days when you just don't want to break out the scale or measuring cups. At the very least, it is much less guilt-inducing than popping open a tube of "dough" to feed a crowd (or yourself, no judgement here!). Maybe one day my local grocery store will stock KAF box mixes. We just got the White Whole Wheat Flour (yay!) and Gluten Free Flour in addition to the regular White and Bread KAF, so here's hoping!
