The Scone Wars

When last I posted, I was on a quest for a socks knocking scone recipe. I narrowed it down to two choices

Those looked yum. Glad you used the frozen butter method. I'm just in love with that technique for biscuits, scones, or pie pastry.

I need to go find that frozen butter method, it sounds very useful.

with an oven that heats the bottom excessively, you might want to invest in Airbake bakeware. It is manufactured with an airspace on the bottom to prevent burning. I had them for my old oven; the one I have now bakes more evenly but I still prefer my airbake cookie sheets.

I have an air bake pan but it has not yet been located.

The method is really simple: Freeze your butter, then grate/shred it in your food processor and add to recipe. No need to cut in at all(a task I seriously dislike)!

Moving does that. I have so much stuff in storage, I can't find things!

Thanks for the butter tip.

Hi! Is this your blog: http://kimtopps.wordpress.com/2010/11/10/the-scone-wars/?

If not, I thought you'd like to know they're lifting your content. You can try sending a sternly worded message (something about "remove this copyrighted content immediately") and they might take it down!

Definitely not me. Gah. Thanks for the heads' up.

I got a pingback from them, and since they didn't include the photos they referred to, it looked fishy! I looked at their other entries too -- they're all piped in from other blogs. So lame! I sent a strongly worded message of my own :)
