For my sister

I made scones. Bowman's mom made scones and then requested I make some and tell her how they were, so I did. As you can see, I had an abundance of apples from the apple picking adventure so I went with these Oatmeal Apple Scones from Mr. Breakfast.com.

First I mixed all these:

• 1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup uncooked rolled oats (quick or old-fashioned)
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Then I cut in:

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter -

until the mixture looked like wet sand, or just kind of chunky. Then I whisked together:

• 1 large egg
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 Tablespoons molasses
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

And added it to the sand-like mixture. Then I added the

• 3/4 cup diced apple

and BAM! The dough:


The hard part was that you had to just plop it down on a greased pan and cut it into wedges. It was very inexact.


And voila! Scones! This sounds weird but they were a little too moist for my liking. Usually when I eat scones I like it to be a little dry so I'm not sure how I would tweak the recipe, but maybe next time I'll try a different one.
