This morning I woke up and saw that the pond was frozen over! The first time this winter, it usually never stays frozen for very long. In the 12 years I have lived here only once was it frozen enough to walk on and that was at least 10 years ago.
It looks like the cats will have to get water inside as I found no open water outside today.
We were all out of baked goodies, the biscotti supply has dried up... Last night before going to bed I found a recipe for
cranberry scones at Cameron's blog
Given we had all the ingredients and needed to use up the butter milk I made a batch of them. I used organic whole wheat flour instead of unbleached all-purpose flour which was called for in the recipe.
It has been 6-7 years since I attempted making scones and they ended up just ok back then. These came out great and almost as good as the scones Foster's Market sells for $2 each. Thanks Cameron!
How perfect and yummy they look Randy. A great idea to sub the org. whole wheat flour! Your home must have had a delicious fragrance from these... nice consolation for the frigid temps outside. Carol
ReplyDeleteThose look delicious. I could eat one right now. A good thing to do when it was so cold outside. Helen
ReplyDeleteI didn't have scones, but I did have some good chicken n dumplins at the family gathering tonight.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I've seen the house from that view. It must be fantastic in the summer and fall, especially. Next to my parents' house, there's a small pond. Once, as a kid, I was able to walk halfway across before turning back. Ice skating really isn't my thing anyway.
Mmmmmm. I love baking, and the smell of baking... Especially on a cold day.

Beautiful vista, Randy!
ReplyDeleteWell, can't you email me those scones? Look delicious and yummy!!!
Randy they look absolutely wonderful !
ReplyDeleteI bet that pond has amazing "music" in the Spring with peeper frogs .. I envy you that very much !
I had a favorite scone rescipe which I managed to lose during one of our many moves .. I'll have to go see that recipe you used now .. thanks !
Joy : )
Glad your scones came out so well! They look great!
ReplyDeleteI have used whole wheat flour and turbinado sugar when making lavender scones and they were great.
So happy to share a great recipe!
