This recipe I can actually share because it is already out there in the Internets. This is for the basic scones but you can add a bunch of delicious things like berries, pineapple, chocolate chips/espresso, cinnamon-apple. Today I made blueberry-lemon.
I first encountered this recipe through my former boss, Arlene. She made the best scones ever--moist, flaky, not at all dry. I begged her for the recipe before the company shut down. She obliged by making a photocopy. I never actually made the scones until today...I've been meaning to make them all week, because I had a bunch of blueberries that were slowly going bad in the fridge.
I was very tempted to reduce the butter when I saw how much the recipe called for, but resisted the urge and actually followed the recipe exactly (except I halved it, and it was still a lot - 8 good-sized scones).
Good thing I did, because they were as deliciously crumbly and flaky as I remember. Plus I got some good practice cutting in butter with two knives, the oldschool way (new school: use a pastry cutter or food processor).
