Strawberry Scones

 

These strawberry scones are really, really good.

Each month I like to pick out a new recipe to try, usually from Southern Living.  You can find this recipe in the March issue.

My previous attempts at making scones have been less then stellar,  usually ending up in a crumbling mess.  Maybe adding sour cream and whipping cream helped out.

Maybe it was freezing the scones for thirty minutes before baking them.  Maybe it was the juiciness of the berries.  Maybe all those things.

A few weeks ago I was reading a book series, just mindless reading, and there was a lot of scone baking by one of the characters.  People raved about her scones.  That's probably what inspired me to pick this recipe. 

Cooking, or baking, something new introduces me to new spices and sauces and other ingredients.  Sometimes it's really good and sometimes it is just a grand experiment, never to be repeated.  Since I'm a vegetarian it usually isn't terribly expensive.  Just a fun thing to do.
