Another Good Recipe

I made another good recipe from Annie's Eats tonight.  It was my way of easing my nerves during the KU catastrophe!! It seems every time I sat down to watch, KU would play better, so it was best I didn't watch.  (By the way, I can't believe that happened!)

Anyways, the recipe of choice tonight was Strawberry Yogurt Scones and they did not disappoint!  I've never made scones before, but they didn't seem too difficult.  The method is very similar to making biscuits or short cakes. 

I only had yogurt Whips on hand, but I just stirred it up and it seemed to work fine.  I also used lemon zest rather than orange zest.  I had a little trouble getting the dough to come together; it seemed a little dry.  I was also unsure if I was supposed to separate the wedges after I cut them, so I didn't and I had a little trouble getting the centers done.  This could have also been caused by not making the circle at least 8".  All in all though, these are delicious!  She mentions in her post that these scones would work with other types of fruit and yogurt, too.  I think blueberry would be delicious!

Also, I've read that scones can be frozen individually before baking and can be baked from the frozen state.  I obviously haven't tried that, but these would be excellent to have on hand on a blustery Saturday morning - kind of like today!

I didn't get to watch the "KU catastrophe" but since you're owning up to the resposibility for causing it, shame on you. If you wanted to make amends for that, I think you should consider sending out some of them chocolate chip cookies for consolation.
