Scrumptious Scones.. yeah for Biquick!

   Today started so early I feel like two days have pasted and tomorrow is Sunday and I have to get up extra early for church.. but that's not the case. I didn't get to take a nap but I also didn't work at full speed. But for a full day I made a lot. Coffee twice, belgium waffles, cut grapefruits, made egg salad and cut cucumbers for the sandwiches, made awesome orange black tea, and last but not least.. the scones. I split the dough in half and added cheddar cheese to half and Craisins to the other half. They both turned out awesome. Im very happy with them, for my first time. 

    Scone Recipe

2 cups Heart Smart Bisquick

2-3 TBSP of butter

2 TBSP of sugar

1/2 cup of cream or milk

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Combine sugar and Bisquick. Cut butter in small pieces and mix into dry ingredients until it looks crumbly. Then add the cream but be sure to not make it soupy. You want it to look like biscuit dough. Move the dough to a flat surface you've sprinkled with more Bisquick or flour and need it just a little to create a nice round 1/2 in. mound. Use a 2-3 in. cookie cutter to cut the dough.. place on a pam sprayed cookie sheet. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. 

     You can see where I cut the cheese scones differently. I cut it like a pizza before I put it in the oven and it took a little longer since it was closer together. If you make a whole batch of cheese scones, I would recommend using less sugar.. and half a cup of cheese.

     And you can just spoon them onto the cookie sheet without using a cookie cutter for a rougher top. They seemed to rise better that way too. 

Top with a little pat of butter and keep warm wrapped in a kitchen towel in a bowl. :)

    Traditionally scones are served with a cream butter but I was too tired to make some and they tasted wonderful by themselves. :)

     I'm going to bed a happy girl. Going to a graduation in the morning. I'll be up around 7am. :( I'm glad I'll have scones to have for breakfast in the morning instead of having to make something in a rush. 


     I hope that all you ladies out there dream of your very own fairytale tonight and remember your standards and that dreams can come true. :)
