I decided to forgo this week’s recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter fondue. It sounds amazingly delicious, and I am generally up for any sort of sweet treat, but apparently I draw the line at making myself a pot of what amounts to melted peanut butter cups. I think I will save that recipe for the lucky guests of a future party. So instead, I did a make up recipe that everyone raved about when they made it a couple of years ago-Carrot Coconut Scones with Citrus Glaze.These were amazing. The texture is light and airy, almost like a little cake. The carrot element is not too pronounced, though I did get some pretty flecks of orange from my lazily mashed carrots. I am crazy for coconut, but the real star of this recipe is the citrus glaze. It adds such a wonderful sweet/tart punch, while also keeping them very moist. I love making scones, and I have found that a simple powdered sugar glaze can make a so-so biscuit into a delicious, moist pastry. Especially if allowed to sit overnight to really let the glaze sink in a little bit. I also usually cut my scones into smaller sizes so there’s more to share.
Have a great week everyone!
Next week:Cheddar Corn Soufflé | Baked Elements.
Funny we both felt the same way about the fondue. I know my brother would love it, though. I really liked these scones! I’ll have to make them again soon.
These were good scones. I made them during a rogue session…..and I loved them. Great job! They looks so good!
Your scones look fabulous! I liked these also. Makes we wanna make them again!
Mmm – one of my Baked faves!

Thanks! I was tinkering around with it last weekend.
I was so surprised by those scones. Would never have made them if not for BSM!
Yum! Looks delicious! xx
These scones are great…I loved them and am appreciative that you’ve reminded me of how good they are…I’ll be baking them again soon…thanks for the inspiration.
