 ~ Purely on a whim tonight I tried my hand at making blueberry scones for the first time. I compared several recipes and chose the easiest one.
Well, they look delicious but taste, well...
I gave Arlee one; a couple minutes later he came in and said, "Something in this is tickling my throat." I also detected an odd, sharp taste. It was baking powder, even though I always use the non-aluminum kind. But too much is too much.
They were also very crumbly and just fell apart. The only way to eat them was with a fork and even then they just made a big mess.
I googled more recipes, and realized that the quantity of baking powder ranged from 2-1/2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon. The one I followed called for 2-3/4 tablespoons! No wonder. It must have been a typo. ("Who knew?!")
So into the trash the whole lot went, meaning I wasted about $15 worth of ingredients.
I have more blueberries and will try again with a different recipe that has a lemon glaze. I hope they turn out as heavenly as they sound!!

They don't look that bad. Was your baking powder outdated by chance, or not enough salt? | ||

Arlee might accuse you of trying to 
"off him". Witnesses.........
All kidding aside, poor Arlee.... your test kitchen. I made chicken cordon bleu...tried 4 different recipes until I liked one. My poor aunt ate those chickens for a month WE got a scone recipe from the Little Sisters of the Poo. They sold them to raise funds. They were delicious. | ||
