Lemon Maple Pecan Scones + A Winner!

Hello!

Wow- what a week and a bit it’s been!  Thanks to all who stopped by and left a comment- I just love to read them and see what you all have to say. Thank you! I’m looking forward to brewing a pot of tea and taking some time to sit down and respond properly to you all over the next few days.

Now. To these scones. They are delightful- and even more so because they are so very easy to make. The recipe included today is slightly adapted from the original in the book, which also included currants or raisins. Both are fine in my books, but the morning these scones were made, raisins just didn’t suit my mood. So, out they went, and in came some maple syrup  and water to make up for the loss of apple juice originally called for. Maple and pecans is just magic- add lemon and oooh…. Christmas morning is going to smell amazing in our little coach house.

And now for the winner……..

Congratulations, Claire!! I’ll be contacting you shortly via e-mail for a few details, and sending off your fab new Grains and Greens on the Deep Blue Sea Cookbook, this week! Enjoy!! And to everyone else, thank you again for all of your lovely comments, and don’t despair! I have another fun giveaway planned for the New Year- you won’t want to miss it!!

these look so amazing!!! you’ve inspired me to:
a. cook more
b. get prettier dishes on which to photograph my food lol.

i was wondering how you’d recommend making some of these delectable goodies gluten-free?

i’m sooo making these tomorrow morning :)

Hi Becky! Thanks for the super encouragement!! Oh the slippery slope of purchasing pretty dishes… soon they will invade every available nook and cranny!! I actually don’t do much gluten free baking, as I don’t bake very often and seem to tolerate gluten without any problems. I sometimes use a prepackaged GF flour mix… It’s something I am super curious to learn more about/practice more in my kitchen! I’ll keep you posted about any fun discoveries!
