5. externship update: scones, just triangle biscuits.


this week was scone week at urban!

we have been selling the same blueberry & apple cinnamon scones since i started at urban.  {secret is out...} they are frozen & from sysco.  our customers love them.  {another secret: i, embarrassingly, do too.}  but they are so not really scones.  they are more like triangle muffins.

so what makes a scone a scone?  well, they are really just biscuits cut into triangles.  you make them just like biscuits:  cut butter into the dry ingredients.  add liquid & fold very gently & very quickly.  work the dough as little as possible.  bake.  & voila!  scones!

everyone from school knows that chef o would be livid to know i made scones with anything other than raisins.  but sometimes you have to please your chef & your customers.  so for our new sweet scones: cherry & almond.  & for our savory: bacon & cheddar.

yummm...


happy friday!  have a lovely weekend, friends.

love love,
kjp.

  1. For the record, I am elated that you made scones with something other than raisins. Raisins are gross, no matter what delicious concoction you put them in.
