I had to use my pastry cutter to make the dough... I just love having the opportunity to use one of my new gadgets! After the dough was all mixed together (which takes a long time by the way!), I had to form it into the scone shape. You do this by making a round 1/2" thick "disc" of dough on the counter top.
After you get it all assembled in the middle and flattened out to the thickness you want for your scone, you slice it up into equal portions. I cut mine up in a pizza pie style, but in hindsight, I should have made them more of a rectangle or diamond shape... the points of the "pie" slices were very fragile and fell apart easily.
Here we have my first one on the cookie sheet getting ready to bake... the smell of these baking is heavenly! I ended up having to bake them on two separate cookie sheets. I rotated them from the top shelf to the bottom shelf halfway through to make sure that they cooked evenly. I really wish someone would invent an oven that baked the same no matter where you placed the item in the oven... would reduce the chances of burning something and I could use all the help I can get!
So the recipe called for maple frosting... so I made it and drizzled it all over the scones! They turned out great!
Remember how I said that I love the ORANGE scones from Panera? Well, I could not help myself. I got out some orange flavoring (instead of the maple flavoring) and some food coloring and made a few orange just for me.
It actually turned out that these were the favorite from the family. Next time I make them, they will all be orange!
Next up is Linguine with Clam sauce. Look forward to "eating" with you soon!
