I should do that soon. Hope you find the time soon too. :)eatme_delicioushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14657772782487330009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215952987234403681.post-12055135176059018762008-03-11T12:22:00.000-07:002008-03-11T12:22:00.000-07:00I recently read a tip in the Globe and Mail for making "perfect" scones: Freeze your butter, then use a grater to get very uniformly small pieces. I imagine that this would work, if you hold the butter with the wrapper to avoid getting it all over your hands while grating!<BR/><BR/>As soon as I have the time and find the perfect recipe, I'm going to try the grating technique...Maureennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215952987234403681.post-55571125614748601372007-07-23T23:19:00.000-07:002007-07-23T23:19:00.000-07:00doolaik: I don't think I'd want to try to cut butter into pea size cubes. The butter would get all messy and melty. It's annoying enough to cut it into like 20 cubes. But yes making sure that all the cubes are of equal size to begin with would be good. And yes they turned out very well!eatme_delicioushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14657772782487330009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215952987234403681.post-51484715060739180482007-07-20T22:34:00.000-07:002007-07-20T22:34:00.000-07:00just as a suggestion, maybe you should cut your butter into pea sized cubes to begin with... then you wouldnt have that issue of having varying sizes. just a thought.<BR/><BR/>ps. i didnt get a chance to read through the whole thing, but judging from your msn name, everything seems to have come out fine.doolaikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00432198354045514485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215952987234403681.post-80670730435327428322007-07-12T10:16:00.000-07:002007-07-12T10:16:00.000-07:00thecookingninja: thanks! hope you and he enjoy the scones. :)<BR/><BR/>ellie: i used dried apricots as a replacement and they worked okay - the pieces that were on the bottom of the scone and sticking out the top got a bit burnt. you could try out another dried fruit, or omit them all together and just use the orange zest. maybe add extra orange zest if you do that.<BR/><BR/>lynn: thanks! perhaps mini scones are the way to go. :)<BR/><BR/>patricia: if you're going to bake any scones, these should be the ones!<BR/><BR/>wellunderstood: aw thank you :)eatme_delicioushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14657772782487330009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215952987234403681.post-22486109750108411302007-07-11T11:47:00.000-07:002007-07-11T11:47:00.000-07:00these are just gorgeous. some of the most beautiful i've seen, really . . .wellunderstoodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09360806789318170623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215952987234403681.post-77674774043224255812007-07-10T08:04:00.000-07:002007-07-10T08:04:00.000-07:00I haven't baked scones in ages and these are tempting!Patricia Scarpinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14025126825422974626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8215952987234403681.post-16524578874095375342007-07-10T06:24:00.000-07:002007-07-10T06:24:00.000-07:00Those scones look perfect! Good job! I posted a scone recipe a while back ( http://cookiebakerlynn.blogspot.com/2007/03/for-gabrielle.html) which makes little, dainty scones.
