Maybe it's just the cool weather in the mornings and the rapid approach of fall, but I have been craving warm baked breads for breakfast. These are orange chocolate chip scones. I'm not sharing my exact recipe, because I sell them in the bakeshop, I can give you a few pointers on making your own scones. I really like the recipes from
Art of Dessert and
Savvy Brown. I definitely suggest using canned coconut milk when making your scones. This is one time when you
really want the higher fat content. I also think it's a great idea to grate your Earth Balance and then let it sit in the freezer for a few minutes before you cut it into the flour. This will help keep you from overmixing the dough. You don't want to eat tough, rubbery scones!
I can't wait to start rolling out more fall flavors in the bakeshop. Pumpkin, cranberry, apple! I feel like I always get really excited by the changing of the seasons. I love phasing in new fruits and vegetables every few months. It's always a nice change. Do you have any favorite fall baked goods or flavors?
chocolate and orange might be my favorite sweets flavor combo. and would you believe it— i've never had a scone before! ha.
ReplyDeletealso, you are going to kill me, but i get REALLY spiteful towards pumpkin this time of year. don't get me wrong— i actually LOVE it. but i feel like people just throw cinnamon into everything and call it pumpkin. not okay.
Those are some awesome scone making tips - thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the fall treats make saying goodbye to summer at least a bit more bearable! I'm all about the spices; chai, pumpkin pie, 5-spice... Anything bright and warming.
