Been a minute… I’m still here

It’s been around four months since my last post, and I do apologize for the lapse. While I have been very busy, I could have taken a moment to update rather than wait until things piled up☺️. I’ve been knitting every chance I get as well as painting, drawing, and baking. This post I will concentrate on baking.

I found a recipe I liked for scones…. it’s been so very long since I’ve made scones. My search for whole white wheat or oat flour recipes finally came to fruition. I always give credit where credit is due. This Cranberry chocolate chip scone is absolutely amazing. The whole white wheat gives it a weighty biscuit texture and flavor. But what is a scone other than a wonderful Scottish form of fruit filled biscuit😁. I made this a couple of weeks ago. They didn’t last long.

They are simple to make and so very satisfyingly filling.

I used craisins and mini dark chocolate chips.

So today, I had some downtime before starting dinner. I decided to tweak that same recipe. This time, I used fresh frozen blueberries, craisins, and a good dash of lemon juice for flavor.

They were slightly more messy to shape due to the blueberries juiciness, but that’s fine by me.

The other tweak I made was using 1 cup whole Whyte white wheat, 1/2 cup oat flour, and 1/2 cup almond flour.

This batch came out more browned and a bit larger than the last. We won’t eat them until after dinner. But oh my the aroma in the kitchen has pulled hubby from his office in search of the cause😁😂. That’s a good sign from a foodie spouse.

I’ve cut them apart, and the texture seems much lighter. I’m sure that has more to do with the added almond flour than the iat flour.

Ok, so yes, I DID have a small taste! Oh my goodness, this could become my favorite recipe!

Off to get dinner on the table so we can enjoy them sooner. Bon Appétit!

  1. The scones look lovely. Almost like Scottish shortbread! Today I’ve promised myself that I am going to preserve the pears from our little tree, so we can use on top of porridge or yoghurt over wibter 😉

  2. I love pear preserves and pear relish. Haven’t made any in years. Our one pear tree finally succumbed to the blight that takes them out in this area.
