I used to bake a lot...in fact I made quite a few wedding and birthday cakes years ago, but I also have a weakness for breads and carbs in general. Unfortunately, those turn into sugar when they settle in your system and I have been trying to watch my sugars. I have been pretty successful so far. However, that has limited my baking! I find that I am not the only one with this love for breads and my neighbor, bless her soul, sparked the need to find a scone recipe that wasn't too sweet. In fact we were on the quest to bake biscotti. How sad is it that friends have to schedule time together by checking their calendars. This biscotti lesson was scheduled days ago and last night I scheduled a quilt trip with a friend for a date the two of us could find open. Even that was difficult. We just are blessed to be able to stay so busy with these friends. So these are the scones that I tried and I would make them again, tweaking the recipe a bit. This one had chocolate chips which I would eliminate and dried cranberries which work really well. I would also cut them a bit bigger...8 pieces rather than 12. It was a pretty basic recipe, not too sweet, which could be adapted and I will make it again. We did make the biscotti...carbs again...but it is also a "go to" recipe and perhaps I will post it another time. Baking is always more enjoyable when you do it with friends.
