Scone-foolery

ENGLISH SCONES
p. 173 GOV
Prepared 01/24/2010

These were oft-discussed but slow to manifest in our kitchen due to colds, visitors, ennui etc. so it felt underwhelming to finally be getting to baking them. My son and I did everything wrong in making theses- didn't blend the (1/2 cup!) of Earth Balance in well, mixed too much, didn't defrost our frozen fruit...but the results were so scrumptious (1/2 cup of Earth Balance, right?) that no picture exists of them. They were eaten that quickly.

They baked up sort of flat, I'd say (see above for potential explanations) and we omitted the currants and added frozen raspberries and just a few chocolate chips. We shook some of our favorite baking sugar on top as well...that extra bit of blue sweetness in no way hurt the look or the taste of these.
