They looked so heavy on the sheet pan. My heart was seizing. You've been nothing but trouble.

Their cavity puffed.

You are my first scone, after all.

...

"What did you make?" He asked.

"Blueberry scones." I replied.

"No chocolate cake?" He asked.

"Chocolate cake is tomorrow." I replied.

...

I put a cooling rack on the kitchen table and proceeded to lift the scones, one at a time, from the sheet pan. Light as a feather. Exhale. Smile. Taste of a crumbly nub. Oh wow. This is good.

    Your scones couldn't be more perfect. They look so moist too! Great way to use up those blueberries while they are still here!

    Your scones look to be from the hands of a practiced scone maker. Beautiful.

    "Chocolate Cake is tomorrow." I loved this!

    You made a very impressive debut effort. You are also a much better baker than I am, so I'm not surprised. :-)

    These look wonderful! They certainly put my first scones (which were flat globs of "not so lovely") to shame!

    Have you tried dipping them in chocolate or mascarpone?
