Potato raisin scones

November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ Connie

What happened next, of course, was I ate the scones. Not all eight slices. I had two for brunch with butter and blueberry jam (below). And coffee, not tea. I had another one without the butter and jam at around 2.00 p.m. after I turned on the computer.

What were the scones like? Crisp on the outside, soft inside. They weren’t greasy and two slices are enough for a meal. They’re best freshly baked and still warm. Okay, I ate them hot–I couldn’t wait anymore; I was hungry. I was in such a hurry to take that photo above because the butter was melting fast. If you’re serving them hours later, I suggest you reheat them. They’re really wonderful. With bread like this, I can almost forget my occasional craving for croissant and foccaccia.

    That looks light scones. Parang puff pastry ang texture. Pahingi naman!

    Thank you for sharing this recipe, Ms Connie. I’ve been searching for a vegan scone recipe (not that I’m a vegetarian, just a bit health-conscious :) ) for quite sometime now. I tried making it this afternoon and you’re right, it’s absolutely divine! :)
    Looking forward to more kitchen wisdom from you,
    Cynthia

    Cynthia, these scones are just wonderful. Hope you enjoy them. :)

    I have an Ariston convection oven, bingle (photo here). I used to have a La Germania range too. Had it for over 10 years. A convection oven (fan-assisted but with multi-settings including grill) is much much better. :)

    Hi! :mrgreen:
    I tried making these yesterday and they were good. The ones I made didn’t brown as much on top though. I’m just curious what would happen if sweet potatoes were used instead hehe.

    Crissy, I’m sure it will more tasty but sweet potatoes are more fibrous.

    Hi Crissy. You’re welcome. Re your multiply account. I’m sure than if you post simple link to this page, your readers can find the recipe. I prefer that you do NOT reproduce the entry and the photo.

    Hi Connie, can I use ordinary flour in this recipe instead of the unbleached flour? :)

    Hi Gina, yes, I think so although the baked scones may look paler.

    After eating your Potato Scones my poor dog just rolled over and expired. Its a good job I never gave one to my dear old mother. To think of what could have happened just makes me want to burst into tears.

    I roasted the dead dog and we all had a good joint out of it.
