Peanut Butter Scones

So I really wanted to make peanut butter scones.  There aren't very many recipes online for them, but I found one, and decided to give it a shot.  I kept the ingredients exactly the same, except I did not put a piece of chocolate bar on each scone, but changed a few of the steps.  =D



Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, chilled
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup milk
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt. (I really did use a whisk, and it worked well.)
Step 3: With pastry blender or two knives, cut butter into flour mixture.
Step 4: In a small bowl, stir together the peanut butter, milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. (I used a whisk again for this step, it took some stirring but mixed together eventually)
Step 5: Add the peanut butter mixture to the flour mixture and stir to combine. (The dough took awhile to mix all together but eventually it came together, just keep mixing)
Step 6: Grease a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray
Step 7: Dump dough onto cookie sheet and pat into an aprox. 10 inch circle.
Step 8: Spray non-stick cooking spray onto a pizza cutter.  Cut dough into 8 wedges.
Step 9: Sprinkle with sugar. (I used granulated and large-sprinkle sized clear sugar)
Step 10: Decrease oven temperature 350 degrees F. Bake for 17-19 minutes, or until lightly browned. Transfer to cooling surface.

Makes 8 scones.

Chocolate Pecan Scones

Sorry to torture anyone.

*gasp* Alright, you can tell it's a beautiful day, right?--the blue sky is reflected in the glossy, warm, un-ordinary chocolate-coffee sauce. Mmmm:)

It's the perfect scone.

It was . . . amazing, that first bite. And all the ones that followed, till the whole, delicious, chocolate-coffee drizzled thing was fully consumed.

Yep, you can kinda tell we use whole-wheat flour, but gosh it turns out awesome either way.

Now, the dear Leanna was the wonderful lady to post this recipe first of all, and I am so glad, because the world has been made a better place. One of these on the plate in front of you, still warm, and world peace is possible.

So... thank you, Leanna. 

*sighs again*

Now, listen. I never sigh over food, do I? So go on and copy this down and scoot your booty into that kitchen and make 'em. 

Hop over here to get the recipe... You know you want it. ;)
