It's a good thing this recipe only makes two scones because if it made any more than that I would be in deep, deep trouble! These are fabulous!
I found the recipe over on a page called Dessert for Two and it looked like it would be something we might enjoy and so I went for it!
On looking a bit closer at the recipe I could see that it was a riff on a delicious scone recipe from Wolfgang Puck, albeit of a much smaller quantity and with a Maple Glaze added.

There really IS nothing new under the sun, only new ways of doing things!
I didn't do anything different, I just made them and baked them and then we devoured them.
I have done the hard work of converting the measurements to UK measurements and that is how I made them, using UK measurements, so that I could be sure that they worked, and they did. So that was my addition to the recipe.
You really have to bake these. They are quite simply amazingly fabulous. You can thank me later. ;-)
*Small Batch Maple Glazed Black Pepper Scones*
Makes 2 very large scones
Whisk together the egg yolk and cream. Pour this
over the flour mixture and then mix together with a fork to make a
shaggy type of dough. Don't overmix, but all of the ingredients should
be well incorporated.
Using your hands, divide the dough in half and
shape into two mounds on the baking sheet, leaving plenty of space in
between to spread. (I would leave 4 inches)
Mmmm . . . gorgeous served warm, and pretty damn good served cold. These babies are huge so my husband and I shared one the first day and then had the second one the day after cold. Scrumdiddlyumptious!
Bon Appetit!
I made these tacos today and was going to wait until Monday to show them to you, but they were so fabulously delicious that I just had to show them to you today! I just know that if you love tacos and you love chicken you will want to be making these for your family tonight!
I was sent some delicious Marmalades to cook with earlier this month in honor of National Marmalade Week and asked would I like to try to create some new recipes using it. This speaks to two of my great loves . . . one I love Marmalade, and two, I love to create new things and be challenged. Everyone's a winner! (And especially us because we get to try all these new delicious marmalade scrummies!) First up Marmalade Cheesecake Crumble Cake!
I have to confess that, aside from feeding the Missionaries, I haven't been doing a great deal of cooking lately. I've been quite tired and not really feeling all that well. No appetite. We are having the Elders for tea tonight and I am making them a curry, but for Todd's lunch I cooked him delicious Bagel Hole Eggs! Like Egg in the hole, but with a bagel instead of bread. ☺
Usually at the weekend I try to do us some sort of breakfast treat . . . something which is a bit out of the ordinary cereal that we have on weekday mornings. We are not really heavy eaters so we never do the bacon and eggs thing for breakfast . . . that's usually a dinner deal for us. We do like pancakes, or french toast, muffins, cinnamon rolls, cinnamon toast . . . and when I saw this on Pinterest the other day . . . Coconut Toast . . . I knew that I wanted to make it. It just sounded good, very good.
My Todd really loves a spice cake, and this applesauce cake is one of his favourites. He loves apple anything to begin with, but when you combine the flavour of apples in a cake along with the warm baking spices, he is in cake heaven. He would probably rather have an apple pie for sure, but this is a close second on his list of teatime loves.
I've been experimenting a lot with my baking since my Type2 Diabetes diagnosis, and I have to say in all truth a lot of my experiments have been quite disappointing . . . it seems that when you take the sugar and fat out of things . . . and pile in fibre, the results have been largely nothing to write home about. One exception has been these lovely wholemean pumpkin pie rolls!
I've always liked to pull the boat out a bit at the weekend . . . a nice leisurely breakfast, usually something which we wouldn't have any other day of the week. Having been diagnosed as a Diabetic I thought those days would be over, but I'm happy to say that they aren't in the least. They're just different.
When I was growing up I hated pumpkin pie. I am not sure why. It was just not something I enjoyed. As an adult I have come to love it however, and every time I see tinned pumpkin in the shops here in the UK, I pick up a whole whack of it. Because you can't ever have too much tinned pumpkin can you??? And also because it is also a very rare find over here.
Well, it's the weekend and we all know what that means. It's baked treat in the kitchen time! Oh, I try hard not to eat cakes and such during the week . . . but at the weekend I like to pull out the stops and bake us something nice for a treat. Tasty bakes like this Peach and Blueberry Breakfast Cake are something which we both enjoy!
Usually at the weekend, I like to pull the boat out a bit and bake us something nice for our breakfast. It could be muffins or scones, or even a nice tea bread or breakfast cake. Today I baked us this lovely Twisty Fruity Bread!
I normally like to pull out the stops at the weekend and cook us something special for breakfast. Normally during the week we have only toast and/or cereal, saving anything larger for Saturday or Sunday. This is a bank Holiday here in the UK this weekend and so I decided that I would make us some French Toast for our Saturday breakfast . . . and not just any French Toast . . . but . . . Cinnamon French Toast Batons.
