Saturday Morning Scones: Apple cinnamon

 Saturday morning, and once again it was time for breakfast. Admittedly, I almost forgot, since we were on our way to meet my boyfriends father's new puppy! Luckily, there was still time for some warm scones. It was raining (as it has been doing all week long..) outside and something fall-flavored seemed appropriate. Apple and cinnamon!

 I had my first bite of a apple cinnamon scone when having breakfast at Dovetail Bakery in Portland together with Amanda and Matt.

 Martin was happy about getting warm scones for breakfast.

I used a basic scone recipe but added a shredded apple and dipped the top of it in a brown sugar-cinnamon mix before baking. They came out pretty good! They weren't as pretty and big as the ones from Dovetail, but who am I to compete with them!

Saturday morning scones: Fresh currant and oats

It's Saturday morning and it's time to eat some scones. A while ago I found these gorgeous scones over at Apt. 2B Baking Co. and new I would have to make them for Vegan MoFo. I made them vegan by just using oat milk instead of the buttermilk and heavy cream, not really measuring but aiming for the kind of dough described in the recipe ("soft and a little sticky").

They turned out great, sweet and tart at the same time and with a good texture. I can definitely see myself making them again and so should you!

Saturday morning scones

It's Saturday morning and it's time to eat scones!

To start off the first day of this theme I wanted to tell you about two of my favorite scones from the past.

First out it the one you see in my banner for this theme up on top of this post. It's a tomato rosemary scone from Vegan Brunch. They're the only savory scones I've ever had but they are soo good. They have a lot of taste but at the same time they can handle a lot of different toppings. I would recommend non-dairy cream cheese or hummus, preferably with a fresh veggie slice or some basil leaves on top!

When looking for pictures of scones from the past, I found this little gem from spring 2009. It's glazed orange scones from Vegan with a Vengeance. I remember them being great, and that we packed up the ones we couldn't eat and hung them on our friend's/neighbor's door for breakfast.

Now I'm looking for new scone recipes to try for the upcoming Saturdays, and although I have some promising recipes on hand, wont you tell me your favorite?
