Scones for Breakfast?

Mmm..I was dreaming of the fragrance of fresh-baked pastries. It's been awhile since I've indulged in a good breakfast. So I decided to carry on my baking adventure. After some recipe searching, I thought scones would be more than purr-fect to kick off a beautiful day.

Wow this would be the first time that I'm whipping up something from scratch by myself. It felt quite empowering..muahaha..


Ahem..so there I was watching Ellen while whisking together all the ingredients. As I was trying for a healthier result, I kind of tweaked the recipe a tad bit. So I switched out the all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour. Plus, I love anything made of wheat anyways!


After some big-time mixing with my hand (didn't have an electric mixer..my previous roommates took it away..), the batter was all set and ready to go. So I managed to make six and a half scones. Then I popped them into the pre-heated oven and allowed the wonderful smell of fresh homemade pastry penetrate my nostrils.

While the scones were happily baking, I even had enough time to clean up the mess, plop down on the couch and sip my oat drink =)


So how did my first trial of baking turn out? I have to say my verdict is excellent indeed! Of course that might be biased of me, but my roommates absolutely loved them too. The skin was crunchy while the inside was moist, just the way I like it! And of course, spreading the lovely scones with apple butter completed my scrumptious breakfast!

Here's my tweaked recipe if you wanna have a go at it as well =) You won't regret!
1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
3 tablespoon butter, cut
3 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup soymilk
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Farenheit. Mix together flour, baking powder and cut butter. Then add in the sugar and milk. Knead the dough for a few minutes till set. Split the dough into 6 round-shape dough and let bake for 15 minutes. I threw in a handful of blueberries for an extra zest. You can virtually add anything that might satiate your taste buds! Enjoy...
