I almost skipped out on this week's recipe. We had a busy weekend and I spent all day today dragging behaviorally challenged elementary school children around historic Philadelphia. But I came home, sat for a bit and forged ahead. I am glad I did because this has been my favorite of he four recipes I've done so far! I found it a snap to make (i didn't find the dough as problematically sticky as my fellow TWDers) and the flavor is subtle but rich. I love the combination of fruit and cheese (who doesn't?) and it comes through wonderfully in these scones. They are light and just crumbly enough. I did take the liberty of adding some freshly grated nutmeg, cause it goes oh so well with the feature ingredients. Today, I'm a happy blogger. Check out The Floured Apron, where host Katrina has posted the whole recipe.

Hi Lauren, I am a first time visitor but an instant fan of your blog. 22 recipes in June itself? You've got a factory or something at your place ;) Loved these scones. Will check out 'The Floured Apron' for the recipe. Thanks!

I completely agree with you - I was relieved that we had something easy, tasty, and that I didn't have trouble with the dough.
LOL on the kids. Your photo is beautiful and the scones look very tasty and delicious...just the thing to relax with, right?
That's so funny about the kids! Great looking scones.
