BAKED Sunday Morning
I've mentioned before that I make a lot of scones because they are John's favorite breakfast treat, but this is the first time that I have made a scone that tastes more like a cookie. The recipe also adds some chocolate chips in the mix, but I couldn't resist trying the peanut butter and jelly version so I halved the dough and just put chips in one half.
What's interesting about these scones is that you score them before you put them in the oven and then finish cutting them when they are baked I guess to keep them moist.
But whatever the reason, it worked because both versions are moist albeit a little crumbly. I sliced the portion that I left plain in half and spread some Trippleberry preseves on them. The result is a perfectly delightful peanut butter 'n jelly cookie scone.
The difficult part was deciding which one was my favorite, but in the end I had to go with the chocolate chip and John's favorite was the peanut butter 'n jelly, although he said by the end of his second chocolate chip scone that it was growing on him.
This recipe is definitely a keeper and I will be making these scones again and again. Check out the rest of the group's scones and the recipe over at BAKED Sunday Mornings.
Great idea, Elaine. Your scones look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to split the batch! They look so cute.
ReplyDeleteLove that you tried both sets. A+ for extra credit! I think I might prefer the jam - I never thought to split the dough though. Glad John liked them - and you as well! They look superb in the morning light!
ReplyDeleteI like that scoring idea! I am going to have to try that on the biscuits I am making later today.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll definitely have to try them sans chocolate chips next time... Looks delicious with the preserves! :)
ReplyDeleteScones that taste like cookies? Sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love scones and cookies, so to make a recipe that tastes like one and the same sounds awesome.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you tried the pb&j. I was wondering how that would turn out. Yours look lovely.
ReplyDeleteOh! Now I want to make them again without the chips and have them with jam! Good thing they are easy to make :)
ReplyDeleteGood to hear the PB&J version was delicious too! These reminded me of cookies too.
ReplyDeleteI'm with John.. scones are a favorite! Love the PBJ version!
ReplyDeleteGlad you tried both versions, they look great!
ReplyDeleteHa, I did the same thing - chocolate in only half the batch! I liked the chocolate chip version better.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love these scones :D
ReplyDeleteCheers

Great photos, I think I'll try them with out chic chips next time too.
ReplyDeleteScones with chocolate! What more can anyone ask?
ReplyDeleteLove both these versions- the photos are fantastic;-)
ReplyDeleteNow I have to try the PB&J version! My husband loved these, definitely a keeper. I will admit to having made cookie-ish scones before.
ReplyDeleteElaine, scones, I have not made them in ages and yours look like the perfect accompaniment to a cup of tea! I love some clotted cream and strawberry jam with mine and I am seriously hungry for one them right now! Delicious post!
