Goodbye March!
You were a busy month. You whizzed right by me with almost no opportunity for me to bake. But it’s time for you to go now. April is knocking at the door and I see she’s bringing flour and eggs and baking pans.
But before you go, March, I wanted to thank you for bringing Beth Hensperger’s Bread for Breakfast with you. What an incredible book! Small, but worth every penny. Every recipe I tried was a pleasure and it’s so obvious that Ms. Hensperger is a lover of bread an an excellent teacher.
I had to try one more recipe, before I could let you take this book from me. Because dried apricots have always reminded me of little gems, I decided to try the Apricot, White Chocolate and Walnut Scones. Sure enough, out of the oven, the tiny pieces of apricot glimmered like jewels, surrounded by melty rings of white chocolate.
How I enjoyed these scones! Diets be damned, I piled them all high with butter and jam and made sure to lick my fingers when I was done.
So long, March. See you next year!
Ciao!

Looks like you had some small rings to cut these little one out. Very much a gem not matter what size they come in.

I think you might be a very bad influence on me as you continuely temp me!
These scones look so soft – I can never manage to get mine cooked properly without them being a tad ‘hard’on the bottom.
I think I can even smell them, chocolatey,fruity scent encased in a lovely floury buttery parcel.Bad Girl.

I just bought this book, and have made a few things from it. I’ve been really pleased with the recipes too. Nice to know that this recipe is also a keeper.

I have just requested this book through interlibrary loan because my local library system didn’t carry it. I was okay with ignoring the urge when I saw the bread, and the french toast, but these scones were too much. I have to make them.

This is a nice way to say goodbye.

I lived in England for two years and became a scone addict. My regular scone place was the Old Parsonage Hotel in Oxford: http://www.oldparsonage-hotel.co.uk
They are especially tasty served with clotted cream (a great American substitute is mascarpone).
