Cinnamon Scones

I love scones.  I love baking scones.  I love eating scones.  And I love coming up with new recipes for scones.  My only dilemma with coming up with my own recipe is I am not very good at recording what and how much I added to my recipe.  A few months ago I made some cinnamon scones for family that was coming to visit.  They were a hit and a recipe was requested.  So I made them again...a couple of times in fact.  I finally got the recipe down and thought I would share it with you.

  Ingredients for Cinnamon Oat Scones

2 Cups of Flour

1/4 Cup of Sugar

1/2 tsp of Salt

4 tsp Baking Powder

1/4 tsp Baking Soda

1/2 tsp Cinnamon

****

1/2 Cup of Cold Butter

1 tsp Vinegar mixed with

1 Cup of Milk (or 1/2 cup of milk and 1/2 cup of buttermilk)

****

2 TBS Butter softened

3 TBS Brown Sugar

3 TBS Oats

3/4 tsp Cinnamon 

In a large bowl mix the first group of dry ingredients and then cut in the butter until it resembles course crumbs.  In a small bowl combine the 2 TBS of soft butter, brown sugar, oats and cinnamon.   Mix the cinnamon oat mixture in the large bowl.  Add 3/4 of your milk and mix until it is moistened (don't over mix) Add the remaining milk if needed.  Drop by spoonfuls on your baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes at 400*.  Or until the center of the scone is light and fluffy.

These would be delicious with a simple glaze of milk, sugar, and cinnamon.  However, I prefer homemade whipping cream with a touch of sweetener and cinnamon.  I have more scone recipes to share so keep your eyes out for them in the future.

Happy Baking!

What mom doesn't love chocolate?

I just received a box of chocolates from Ghirardelli Chocolate and luckily for my family I am not a chocolate hoarder.  The whole family got to enjoy the delicious chocolate.  Ghirardelli recently contacted me to see if I was interested in sampling some of their chocolate and then leaving a review.  I didn't have to think about that one for long.  Free Chocolate...Um Yeah!  I was quite surprised at the variety of chocolates I was sent.  The box was filled with a variety of Intense Dark Chocolates ranging from 60% cocoa to their Midnight Reverie that is 86% cocoa.  Talk about some intense dark chocolate that was delicious!  I also received an assortment of their famous cream filled chocolate squares.  The milk chocolate and dark chocolate with mint was a hit with everyone.  My hubby's favorite was the truffle filled squares.  My favorite was the Gourmet Milk Sea Salt Escape with almonds.  It was sweet and salty with a perfect amount of crunch. If you are looking for ideas for Mother's Day gifts you can't go wrong with Ghirardelli Chocolate!   And you can save 15% by following the link above and entering code INDULGE at checkout.

Bunnylicious Carrot Cake

I just made the most delicious carrot cake.  Since it was husband and kid approved I figured it was a safe recipe to share.   It is a delectable and moist cake topped with a scrumptious cheesecake inspired frosting.  

Bunnylicious Carrot Cake

1 cup White Sugar

1 cup Brown Sugar

½ cup Canola Oil

½ cup Applesauce

4 eggs

1 tsp Vanilla

Mix above ingredients in a large bowl and set aside.

2 cups Whole Wheat Pastry Flour

2 tsp Baking Powder

1 ½ tsp Baking Soda

1 tsp Salt

2 tsp cinnamon

Mix the dry ingredients together well then add half of the dry mixture to the wet and stir well.  Then add the remaining dry ingredients mixing well.

2 cups Grated Carrots

16oz Crushed Pineapple, drained

½ TBS Freshly Grated Ginger (2”by 1” piece)

Fold the carrots, pineapple, and ginger into the batter.  Pour into a prepared 9x13 pan and bake for 40-50 minutes at 350* or until a toothpick inserted in the cake shows it is done.   (Or 2 round pans for 30-35 minutes) 

Frosting

1 Small Package of Cheesecake flavored instant pudding

1 ¾ cup Milk

1 cup whipping cream

1 TBS Sweetener (Sugar, Honey, Agave)

Whip the whipping cream until soft peaks form and then mix in the sweetener.  In another bowl mix the milk and dry pudding mix for 2 minutes.   Set aside for about 5 minutes to set.  Then gently fold the whipped cream into the pudding.  Set a couple of spoonfuls into a small dish so you can enjoy it later.   Use the remaining frosting to frost your cooled cake and then refrigerate.  Before serving you can add your Peeps or whatever decorations you want to the cake.  Enjoy!

Glowing Egg Hunt

Our baby chicks' eggs are glowing!  We have been having so much fun hiding our glowing eggs.  I got this creative idea from Play-at-home-mom.  The kids can't get enough of it and as you can see from the picture above my son had to include his baby chicks.  All you need are some colored plastic eggs and Mini Party Lights .  I got mine at Amazon but you can find them locally as well.  Turn the lights on and put them in the eggs.  Then voila, the kids will have hours of fun.



It is wonderful to find some new and exciting things for the kids to do with this constant down pour happening here.  What kind of exciting activities to your kids do when the weather keeps them inside?
Thanks,
Country Mama Bliss
