This months ABC challenge is scones!
Have I told you that I love love LOVE scones! The recipe that we were to use is a basic scone recipe and we were to choose how we wanted to flavor them. I decided to make a Lemon Glazed Strawberry Poppy Seed Scone. I added strawberries, poppy seeds, lemon zest and glazed them with a bright lemon drizzle. These scones were easy to make, as most scones are, the flavors I chose were beautiful together. Especially with the lemon curd I hanging around in my fridge leftover from my lemon macarons. So yummy! I halved the recipe and it made 8 nice size scones which will be wrapped up and put in the freezer.

If you have never tried scones...please do! They are so easy and make a special breakfast treat. You will find the recipe on the King Arthur Flour site here. And if you would like to take a peek at what the other bakers did with this challenge go here.
Next challenge is a strawberry filled angel food cake! So reminiscent of a cake my mom would make for birthdays! Can't wait to give that a try!
Until then,
Enjoy!
I love how you paired your strawberry poppy seed scones with lemon curd. I can just imagine how tasty that is. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI love all the flavor combinations- they sound delicious!
