Vanilla scones.

   

In one of our recent batches of scones, I added vanilla.  I don't know why I didn't think of that before--it's delicious.  I added it to the liquid, right before the final stir.  The post on our favorite scone recipe is here.  Oh, and I just made some lemon sugar and am eager to try some in our scones as well.  To make lemon sugar, I just mixed the zest from one lemon with two cups of sugar and let it sit, covered.  It took a couple of days for the sugar to take on a lovely, but delicate, lemony flavor.  I think it will be fabulous in several recipes--the boys love anything lemon!  

Hope you have a wonderful weekend,

Sandra

Such a simple idea. Will definitely be trying this. What's the fruit in the picture?

Sourthern Elle: these were cranberry scones and the vanilla paired nicely. The next day, I made lemon blueberry--a new favorite! Sandra
