Final product: It tasted nice and i added onion to make more texture to it... My family tried it and liked it and i felt proud. It smelt nice and i was waiting by the oven just to make it perfect. I needed to make them even so they dont look very even but i tried my best, and accomplished baking scones. Here is a photo of the final product.
Hi Kaedun, These look delicious. You should be proud. Good work! I'm curious that you wrote you added an onion. Do you mean that you like to add onions when you eat scones-to make them savory? Thanks for taking time to write your post and share it.
ReplyDeleteHi Kaedun
ReplyDeleteYou have made some very nice scones they look very tasty. I am glad you and your family enjoyed them.
Getting scones into a regular size is a challenge for lots of cooks. Have a look in the cabinet of a cafe next time you go and you will see what I mean (I know cafes are a distant memory).
Adding onion is an interesting addition. Did you add them to the dough?
See you when school reopens.
