Scones and Biscuits

These tender and sweet cinnamon raisin biscuits full of plump raisins and topped with a creamy vanilla glaze taste just like those famous fast food biscuits you remember. You know what I used to love when I was a kid? Cinnamon Raisin Biscuits from Hardee’s. My grandma would buy them for us.  I had the California Raisins toys and even bed sheets. Yes, my 80’s childhood is definitely showing. And looking back, how weird is it that they made cartoon…

Banoffee Scones have a tender banana scone base with chocolate and toffee bits added for a flavor combination you’ll love. These aren’t the prettiest scone in the book, but they rank high for how easy they are to make and how great they taste.  I adore baking scones. I also adore lazy shortcut recipes that use pantry staples and/or mixes. Do you love those too? If so you need to check out my top recipe on AHB. Today’s banoffee scones…

    These sweet and tender instant oatmeal scones are baked with a crunchy cinnamon sugar topping and made versatile by using instant oatmeal packets! I love a good baking hack, don’t you? I love taking something simple and easy that I already have on hand in the pantry and making it just bit better. I know you all love doing this too, because the most popular recipe on AHB is how to make jiffy cornbread mix better. Well, today…

Eggnog plays the star in these eggnog scones. Its rich egginess, sweet vanilla edge and splash of  nutmeg spice makes the perfect addition to scones. Topped with a creamy eggnog glaze these scones are a fun and festive treat to enjoy with your cuppa this winter. Last week I shared cranberry crumb muffins, this week I’m bringing you a recipe for eggnog scones and next I’ll have a recipe for an easy and elegant make ahead ham and asparagus strata.…

Caramel apple scones are flaky tender scones studded with chunks of sweet tart apple that are topped with buttery homemade caramel glaze. It’s okay to have a crush on these scones, I have for a long time.  I know I just posted an apple recipe not that long ago. Let me tell you what happens; I buy apples to eat fresh, they are my good intention apples, but then I think of things to bake with them and it all…

Sweet potato sage scones are buttery crisp on the bottom, with a mellow undertone of sweetness from the sweet potatoes. Sage and butter really bring the combination together for a rich and flaky, savory scone. Try these in place of biscuits next time you serve up a roasted chicken or turkey! I don’t think it’s any secret that scones are my first love when it comes to baking. After all the first recipe I ever shared on AHB was for…

Savor the taste of summer any time of the year with these bright and fragrant Strawberry Lemon Scones. Light and tender scones are given the summer treatment in this recipe, full of the fresh flavors of strawberries and lemon and topped with a tangy lemon glaze. I’ve given a lot of thought over whether I would talk about my blogging break or whether I would just ignore it. It’s kind of the elephant in the room at this point, because…

Tender and flaky scones are studded with sweet tart blackberries and topped with a rich cream cheese glaze for a winning combination. I’ll have you know, I already wrote a post about these blackberry cream cheese scones once. But when I was done writing, I read the post and I realized that when it comes to blackberries I have a tendency to say the same thing. My husband loves them. Well you know what? The heck with that.  Yes, he…

Lemon sugar scones are light and tender, with a delicate and natural lemon flavor. Perfect for nibbling alongside your favorite cup of tea.

It’s when someone tells you that they’ve made your recipe and more than that, they loved it!  This is one of the best feelings in the world. Serious warm fuzzies! Recently I had the pleasure of someone stopping me at the grocery store…

Tender cranberry orange scones are full of  fruity, sweet, and tart cranberry flavor and topped with fresh squeezed orange juice glaze. Another week. Another recipe. Another silly made-up name assigned to that recipe by my kids. It’s becoming a regular occurrence.  This week’s cranberry orange scones became “man-berry orange scones” after my sons decided that only they should get scones and didn’t want to leave any for their sister. Those boys are like wild locusts and devour everything in their…
