Glazed Cinnamon Scones

When we had our Anne of Green Gables book discussion we had raspberry cordial and of course we had to have scones.

This recipe comes from Money Saving Moms.

And eat scones!

Ingredients

For the Dough

  • 2 cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup butter very cold, cut into small pieces
  • 1 egg separated
  • 3 Tbsp honey
  • ⅓ cup buttermilk or ⅓ cup milk mixed with ½ tsp lemon juice

For the Crumb Topping

  • 2 Tbsp sugar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon

For the Icing

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-3 tsp milk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400ºF
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly.
  4. Separate the egg white and yolk. Set the egg white aside.
  5. In a smaller bowl, mix egg yolk, honey, and buttermilk (or milk/lemon juice mixture).
  6. Add wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  7. On a floured work surface, form the dough into a ball.
  8. Roll or pat the ball into a half-inch-thick disc, roughly 8 inches in diameter.
  9. Cut dough into eight equally-sized pieces.
  10. Transfer the dough to a greased baking sheet (a pie spatula makes this very easy).
  11. Whisk the egg white until froth forms and brush over the tops of the scones.
  12. Mix sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over egg-white-topped scones.
  13. Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
  14. While scones bake, mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until a thin glaze forms.
  15. Drizzle glaze over scones after they come out of the oven.

This recipe was delicious and one that since that time my mom loves make again and again whenever she wants scones.

Magical Matcha Latte

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!

I hope you all have a wonderful and magical day.

I was on Instagram and scrolling through reels and saw this Saint Patrick’s Day matcha latte made with Lucky Charms by Steven Smith Teamaker. It looked delicious and I knew I would have to make it!

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 – 1 teaspoon Matcha
  • 3 Tablespoons of hot water
  • 1-1.5 Cups of milk
  • 1 Cup of Lucky Charms Cereal (I used the discount brand)
  • Sugar (optional)

Directions:

  1. Remove marshmallows from cereal.
  2. Pour a cup of Lucky Charms or other cereal in a bowl. Add 1-1.5 cups of milk.
  3. Mix to combine and let stand for 30 minutes.
  4. Strain cereal and milk mixture through a sieve/cheesecloth and gently apply pressure to remove all the milk.
  5. Put the Matcha powder, sugar if using it, and water in a mug
  6. Whisk together to ensure no lumps (use a matcha whisk or electric stirrer.
  7. If making a hot matcha latte; warm the cereal milk and pour into the mug. If making a cold latte, pour cereal milk into the mug.
  8. Add marshmallows on top of the drink.

It was delicious! The cereal made it sweet enough for me so I did not add any sugar or sweetener to my drink.

My marshmallows did end up melting fairly quickly, so I would watch for that if you make the drink hot. It probably is better to have the marshmallows in a cold matcha latte. But otherwise, it was truly magical and delicious. I would definitely make this again!
