After a long time of pondering about scones, I decided to give them a whirl. It took me so long to bake a batch because I’d heard they were so complicated. I heard everything from “Oh scones take years to master,” to “it is so hard to get the right consistency,” to “scones take so much time.” I didn’t want to believe it, so instead of listening to those pessimistic downers, I took out some recipe books that I trusted the most and searched for a scone recipe that would be my first one as a baker. The Male Baker as a matter of fact! I saw a recipe in my trusted Baked book and I decided to use it as a base.
To give these scones my own flare, I switched many of the ingredients. I used ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg (3/4 flavours of the all-spice mixture) and went with that. They were topped off with cinnamon and sugar to give them the extra kick and presentation they needed! Presentation is king in Dave’s kitchen! All-spice scones are great right out of the oven with melted butter or some really good Jam. I used some organic raspberry jam from Trader Joe’s which was the perfect combination.
