Sunshine & Scones


Is it really November in Ohio?? The leaves say yes, but this blue sky & bright sunshine is confusing me:)
Today I made scones..chocolate chip. Thank you Catherine. Check her out at http://benandbirdy.blogspot.com/2011/11/brown-sugar-oat-scones.html
She has introduced me to popovers & brown sugar oat scones. Both I'm loving. Jack & Maddie were skeptical of the popovers, But I was excited that they at least tried something different!! Fresh out of the oven, all buttery they are hard to resisit!! The verdict was they tasted too eggy..we'll they do have a few eggs in them. But back to scones.
Here's the recipe. I altered Catherine's to have a bit more brown sugar & chocolate chips! Wonder if I will end of eatting all of them before school is out:)
Chocolate Chip Brown Sugar Oat Scones..
Bake at 425 for 15 minutes.
i cup oats
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
2tsp baking pwder
1 1/4 tsp salt
7 tbs butter chilled & diced
1 egg
2/3 cup of milk
1 tsp vanilla.
Combine dry ingredients first & then add wet. Flour a cutting board & press the dough into a circle & cut like a pizza into eight slices. Put individual slices on a greased cooking sheet. Enjoy with a cup of tea in the sunshine if available!
