Scones

I made scones today. In Europe, we're staying at B&B's. We LOVE B&B's and would choose these over any hotel. When picking a B&B, the breakfast part is always most important to me. I check out the menu or their breakfast options and then decide which one I like best from those items. No menu? No reservations. :)


Most of the B&B's we chose have scones, especially in Scotland. So last night while we were booking the last of our room accommodations, I looked for scone recipes. Just seeing a picture of these little pastries made me want to eat one. I found a few I liked, but checked my cookbooks this morning for something that really struck me.


For Christmas, (man, this post is all over the place) I got a cookbook that I'm really enjoying. It's a cookbook about baking for two people. How perfect! That way I'm not making cookies, cakes, pies, etc for twelve people each time I bake (and I bake a lot). I found a Cranberry Orange Oatmeal Scone recipe. It was so good. I think I'll double the recipe next time and share it with some friends.


As for the one's I made this morning, they were gone after lunch. Yum!
