Looks yummy to me!
"We've thought of life by analogy with a journey, with pilgrimage which had a serious purpose at the end, and the THING was to get to that end; success, or whatever it is, or maybe heaven after you're dead. But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.

Thanks!  Maybe some day I'll tackle crumpets.

QuoteYum, fresh scones and jam. You have to eat them fresh, there is no other way.

You're right.  I took one to work with me for breakfast this morning and it was still tasty, but nothing like when it was fresh from the oven.

QuoteThose look good!  Best not to comment on using dried apricots, though, except to say they are an Abomination Before the Lord of Scones. Raisins are the usual fruit. Or plain scones with butter, jam, clotted cream (and a heart attack).

Despite the fact that I love dried apricots, I have to agree with you about putting them in scones.  In addition to making the dough so sticky, they seemed to interfere with the flavor of the scone.  Next time, raisins for sure.  Is there any other fruit I could use, if I wanted to get fancy with them?



Can't think of any offhand. I really like cheese scones, though, especially with a little bit of English mustard powder in the mix to give them some "bite".

Try adding chopped up glacé cherries with raisins, 1:3 by weight cherries:raisins is good. The pieces of cherry need to be about 1/8 of a cherry so they add a bit of concentrated sweetness without overpowering the flavour.
