scone love


i'm in love with scones. seriously. in love. esp cranberry orange scones. commercially available scones are crap, as well. so dense. so chewy. yuck. but fresh homemade scones. hot, flaky, delicious. america's test kitchen's recipe is easy, delicious and all things wonderful. does call for heavy cream, which a. don't always have b. don't want to use. substituted buttermilk and it's a very tasty scone. yay! oh, also added orange zest. i recently acquired the best kitchen gadget ever. the microplane grater. it's amazing! it zests just the orange bit in like 2 seconds. not gonna lie, i am in love with my microplane grater.
