apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I like the quick scone recipe in The Joy of Cooking (the recipe with the oats & melted butter in it). I usually put in chopped up crystallized ginger and a bit of cinnamon. The regular recipe in Joy is good too, just take an 10 minutes and the morning exertion of using a pastry cutter.

I think my favorite scones are the ones with more butter than should ever be put into a breakfast product. :)

My favorite flavors are ginger with raspberry jam and scones with chopped rosemary and walnuts throughout slathered with some honey butter. NOM NOM NOM.

I vastly prefer fruity muffins to fruity scones, but cheesy scones are the ultimate! Especially cheesy spicy scones, like cheddar-jalapeno. And yeah, laetitiae, the butter. The excessive, fabulous butter. My waistline really can't do scones too often.

I like round scones. It's not so much the roundness, as I know when they are round, they are the kind of scones I like. I think of triangular scones as very "American" scones - too sweet and the wrong texture (kind of sticky yet dry). I vastly prefer a round, more traditional scone, with jam and lots of clotted cream. Or butter. Something a little closer to a Southern biscuit than a muffin (which triangle scones are to me).

I love plain scones, or just about any scone from Alice's Teacup in NYC. Or just a fresh out of the oven scone. Also very good scones at Tea and Sympathy, also in NYC.

I recently made the scones from The Bread Bible and was very impressed - they were light, buttery, and nicely crumbly. Otherwise, I grew up making currant scones. I think we used the recipe that was on the back of the current box.

Savory scones is territory I'd really like to try.

I love pumpkin scones from the Canadian Living cookbook. NOM NOM NOM too! ... I must say they are cutter when triangular in shape..!

At 400-600 calories a piece no scone is among my favorite snacks or breakfast meals. As much as I love their taste, it's not one of those choices I want to have as a habit given their generally limited nutritional value. Heidi Swanson at 101 Cookbooks has a receipt for Maple Scones that are about as healthful as any I've ever seen and the only ones I would make myself.

Currants and scones are like Frick and Frack for me. Add a pinch of rosemary, and I'm in heaven.

I love a good savory scone, though! Bacon and pear are just delicious.

Mmmm.... Scones! Just reading the comments made me hungry.

There was a bakery in Burbank called Crust that closed last year. They made the most amazing blueberry lemon scones. I live in Portland, and it was my ritual to bring these scones back when I would go to CA to visit my boyfriend. I am heartbroken thinking about them. Any ideas about how to find their recipe?

love love love cinnamon chip scones

Scones! They are everywhere it seems. I love the scone recipe from Fine Cooking. I think it was an issue from last spring.

I love these things, and I need to make them more often. I use a recipe I saw featured here for pumpkin seed cream scones, but I subbed in pistachios. So good :D

I need to play with the recipe and make some other flavors.
