Homestyle Baked Scones


I have come to really enjoy these little treasures. I love to make these with soup or pasta, they are a nice change from the boring roll. They are quick, easy and super yummy, Mike eats a whole tray of them along with his dinner, plus more before he goes to bed. Give them a try, I'm sure they will become a family favorite as well.






Homestyle Bakes Scones
from Essential Mormon Celerations Cookbook

3 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3 1/2 cups whipping cream, divided
1 1/2 cup cranberries (optional)

Sugar for dipping (I tried turbinado sugar, it was great! But you regular sugar works well too.)

In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt; stir well. Add 3 cups whipping cream, and cranberries; stir just until moist. Roll dough out on a well floured surface (you want them to be about 1/2 inch thick.) Using a glass or cookie cutter cut dough into circles. Dip tops of unbaked scones in reserved whipping cream and thenin sugar. Place on lightly greased cookie sheet (12 per sheet). Bake at 425 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes. Serve warm with butter. Makes about 30 scones.

Not Yo Mama's Banana Pudding (Re-post with a picture )

Does this dessert sound familiar to you?  I originally posted it last Summer, but didn't have a picture at the time.  I'm excited to be able to post this picture now so you can see how yummy it looks!  I first had this pudding at a BBQ last Summer.  One bite and I was hooked.  This fabulous pudding sits on top of a layer of bananas and is sandwiched between two delicious cookies. Does it get any better than that?  Banana pudding didn't used to be something I craved, but it definitely is now.  It is Heavenly!  Also, it's very easy to make.  So try it out sometime.  I bet you'll become a banana pudding fan too.

Royal Icing for Sugar Cookies

While I love my Scrumptious Sugar Cookie frosting , Royal Icing is the way to go for decorated cookies that harden enough to stack and package. It definitely takes more time and patience, but the end result is so satisfying! You can make such fun cookies without having to worry about the frosting coming off.  Royal Icing can get super hard, and while this is perfect for building Gingerbread Houses, it’s not so great when you want to actually eat the cookie. Not to worry though- adding in a little corn syrup helps the icing dry firm without being overly hard.  I also like to add in my favorite butter vanilla emulsion to make the icing extra yummy, cause at the end of the day it’s not enough to just look pretty!  There are a few different ways to make Royal Icing. My favorite method is using Meringue Powder. If you can’t find this or don’t want to buy it, you can use egg whites instead. Or, if you’re in a pinch you can make some with just powdered sugar and water. You can find some recip

Brown Butter Caramel Snickerdoodles

If you try one new cookie recipe this Fall, let it be this one!! I'm not kidding when I say that this is  one of the best cookies I've ever made.  They've already received rave reviews and comments such as, "Amazing!", and "Incredible!"  These are not your average snickerdoodle, not that I have anything against the traditional ones, they are made with browned butter and extra brown sugar for a rich caramel taste.  But wait, it also has a caramel center! And of course that classic chewy texture with a cinnamon/sugar coating.  I could eat these every single day. They are SO GOOD you guys!
