Cooking from Scratch
When people give up part of their day, you want to give them something in return. It’s only fair. So, when people came to attend a short meeting on a Saturday, we sent down a dozen of these scones; that way, they could have a little bite if they were feeling peckish. Since the plate came back nearly empty, we figure they were a success. And, after tasting them, we’re sure that you’ll want to try them out, too.

Don’t you love the light, crumbly, flaky bite of a good scone? Along with the taste of nuts, and a bit of sweetness? Not too sweet, because sometimes we like to have more than one. We sure do, which is why we feel fortunate to have the best scone recipe ever. Really. It’s perfect, and it’s super flexible. We’ve used this recipe as the base for at least a half dozen different scones, and all of them tasted great. You can use the same base recipe, too.

We wanted a little something to bring down to a short meeting the other day. Something that we could bake up quickly in the morning and get it out the door. Something a bit breakfast-like, but more savory than sweet.

That way, if you want, you can have fresh, hot scones every day for a week.

With that going on, when we were thinking of snacks for our downtown walk on Monday night, we wanted something fairly easy, and something we could mainly make ahead. We couldn’t think of anything easier than some sort of scone.

When they think of scones, a lot of people think of a little sweet bread-like food with bits of fruit mixed in. Something like cranberry scones, or apricot scones, or even the Cherry Chocolate Scones we made the other week. But, we think they may be missing out on some great possibilities. One example is these caramelized onion scones, which, to our minds, sound like a perfect savory bread to have with some soup. We modeled these scones on Bouchon Cheddar Scones, and, if you’ve made those, you already know some of the best things about these scones.

Okay, we’ve steeped the cherries on day one, made and froze the scone dough on day two. Today is the day of truth and feasting: we’ll bake our scones.

You’ve steeped the cherries overnight, so let’s just get started on making the scone dough, shall we?
