Directions
Double Maple Syrup Scones,I have always been a scone lover, and maple is my favorite flavor. There is a fine line with the texture I like: not to biscuit-like, not too cake-like, and a nut-like flavor, without chunks of nuts. This recipe is from is from “The King Arthur Baking Book” and has all that, plus some icing on the cake. Since my family has already requested this three times in four days, I decided to put this recipe where I can’t lose it…Zaar!,How can I print out recipes for my own use?,I belong to a group – formed by my friend Annette – called the “Baking Snobs”. We meet monthly with three competitors, who each make their version of the topic of the month, and we then vote on the “BEST”. Several months ago, the topic was “Scones”, and the winning recipe was almost exactly like your recipe except for the not-secret ingredient from Melissa’s winning batch – BACON!
