Country Whites Weekend #3--Good Morning!

 

Welcome to Country Whites Weekend!

It’s plain and simple and oh, so sweet.

Embrace your country whites and share them here!  

Inspire us. Take us home. Fill us with country charm.

Good Morning, Everyone! 

The old Rooster just crowed. . . .

It's a brand new day. . . .and a brand new party!

Grab your coffee--or tea--and join us!

I don't know about you but my day doesn't start without a good cup of coffee. . .

I admit, John totally spoils me every morning. . . .He's up way before sunrise--making sure the coffee is hot and ready when my feet hit the floor. . . .

I try to keep him happy, too, with special treats every now and then. . . .

This morning I brought out Butterscotch Scones. . . .

Afterall, what's a party without something good and sweet and homemade?

He loves his scones heated and spread with homemade butter. . . .
(Calories aren't a worry for him, Ladies)

I use a basic, easy recipe from my Great Aunt Emma--
adding in John's choice of raisins, pecans, coconut, 

chocolate chips, butterscotch pieces, white chocolate, 

dried cranberries, or whatever is on hand.

For this morning, he chose butterscotch chips--says they're "wonderful"--

and insists that I share the recipe with you.

So, here it is, compliments of John and Aunt Emma. . .
It's "lovin' from the oven. . ."

 Scones

Combine 2 1/4 cups flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon ginger, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, pinch of salt. Cut in 1/2 cup softened butter with a pastry blender. In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup milk or cream, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. 
Add to flour mixture and mix just until the flour mixture is moist.
Add 1 cup--your choice-- raisins, currants, pecans, 
dried coconut,dried apples, candied fruit, chocolate chips, 
butterscotch pieces, or white chocolate, or what's on hand.
Be creative!
Scoop batter with a 1/4 cup measure onto a baking sheet 
and bake 12-15 minutes at 400 degrees.

Now that we have our coffee perked and scones in hand, it's time to party!

I'm anxious to see what you've been up to this past month. . . .
