I think that freezing the butter and then grating it in is a good way to go with normal scones. But these honey and sunflower ones are pretty fool proof.<br /><br />Thanks Choclette :-}}<br /><br />That carrot is always worth a try Granny :-} The texture is actually excellent, and the honey and ginger disguises any taste!!

(You have started me off on this you know so I am blaming you now.)Rhyley is a terrible eater. She loves my scones and will eat three in a sitting. I add ground seeds. oats and cheese to make them a bit more nourishing but today I was toying of the idea of grating a carrot in. Does it make a difference to the texture and taste?Rhyleysgrannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00908998924460171209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687817399137597581.post-63209133208908221732010-07-06T20:10:47.653+01:002010-07-06T20:10:47.653+01:00Love the use of ginger and carrot in your scones -...Love the use of ginger and carrot in your scones - what a completely fab idea.Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687817399137597581.post-65315760969158319252010-07-06T14:08:21.413+01:002010-07-06T14:08:21.413+01:00I'm hanging my head in shame but I made scones...I'm hanging my head in shame but I made scones once and they turned out terrible and then I never bothered making them again.

I am sure that is not traditional but I don't care if it gives good results. I have to admit to not making scones very often. The last time I made a traditional scone was in 1994 but they were so great I remember them well, just not the recipe! <br />Here is a link for lemonade scones with great reviews:<br />http://www.exclusivelyfood.com.au/2006/07/lemonade-scone-recipe.html<br />and then the CWA recipe (Country Women's Association here in Australia famous for their scones and other baking):<br />http://www.abc.net.au/local/recipes/2004/09/17/1199471.htmJuttahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112562631706207378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687817399137597581.post-15753196497335200672010-07-06T11:35:56.145+01:002010-07-06T11:35:56.145+01:00I love a good scone recipe...

I made some banana scones (see the blog) but I also make a good carrot cake scone just using a basic recipe but adding shredded carrots, raisins, coconut and mixed spice... then instead of cream and jam I serve them with a cream cheese... like a carrot cake topping. Always goes down well! xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
