The Perfect Scone

Oh.My.Gosh. IMG_0751

I found that elusive scone I had been searching for. The one I had heard rave reviews about over and over. I found it. And it may have changed the way I look at scones forever.

I used to not be the biggest fan of scones. “Too dry” I’d say, “Not sweet enough”.

I always reached for a muffin or cookie at the bakery before a scone. But, these scones are more like crumbly cinnamon rolls than the dry scones I used to imagine.

See how it’s made like a cinnamon roll with rings? They just crumbled off into my mouth…IMG_0754

I got the cinnamon for myself and it was very similar to a cinnamon roll except for more biscuit-like in texture. It was perfectly sweet – not overkill like some cinnamon rolls can be – but not too tame like some scones. Just right 🙂IMG_0757

And I got the blueberry for Ben. I stole a bite of his of course, but the cinnamon was better.IMG_0749

Amazing.

Plus an iced coffee to wash it down 🙂 Happy Thursday to me. IMG_0758

I actually made myself breakfast before class this morning – a bagel with AB&J. I only ate the AB side since the other side tasted off.IMG_0747

So when I got out of class early and had a few minutes to kill before work I drove by the scone bakery and got myself a second breakfast. Happiness followed.IMG_0755

Will someone please volunteer to stand guard at the bakery at not allow me back in? They have a cinnamon-chocolate chip flavor. God help me.

    What is a scone? I mean I have one- but what makes it different from a muffin or a pastry?

    Where oh where may one find these scones at? Or are you purposely keeping it a secret so we won’t steal them all?…if I’m possibly down in the area!

    I hate scones. Definitely too dry. And I was with you until you described that one as “crumbly.” I hate baked goods that aren’t super moist and that don’t stick together.

    Eh, more for everyone else!

    I’m not usually a scone person, but I made some snickerdoodle scones for my daughter’s teacher last year and became a fan. I’m glad you found a good one; it looks really yummy.

    oh man, I wouldn’t be able to resist if I knew of a place near me like that. I love pastries. Scones aren’t my favorite but your description makes me super curious now!
