They are true to their name;
they are sticky.
The best part about these scones is that they're easy. You dump the mix in and add water. Next, you stir. After that, you put them on a cookie sheet for the oven. After about twenty minutes you have scones!
There is a bowl of sticky goodness and a row of
potential scones.
For those not familiar with scones, they're like a cross between a muffin and a biscuit. They warm up nicely, as well, which is nice since we are unable to eat a whole package in one sitting. (That's a good thing.) They come in a variety of flavors, but I tend to favor the fruit ones. They had a gingerbread one for Christmas, but it came with a lemon icing, which was weird.
Behold the finished product!
Now, traditionally, scones are triangular. We tend to be lazy and make them in the drop style. To make them triangular, you make a big round shape. You have to powder your hands with flour, as the dough is so sticky. Once you have a big dough patty, you score it to make the triangles.** However, they taste just as good in the drop form too.
Time for a random story. One of the first years I started getting Mark scone mix for Christmas, he accidentally put too much water in with the mix. He saved it by making pancakes from the overly saturated scone mix. They were actually pretty good. This year, he made scones for my family Christmas morning. He's pretty awesome.
Mickey approves!
*Yes, I realize you can probably buy these other places too.
**I bought Mark a scone baking dish for Christmas. Eventually, we'll have the fancy shaped ones. He was going to try it this morning, but I didn't want to be late to work due to scones. It's just not an acceptable excuse.
