Quite a while ago I came across some recipes involving an ingredient called Biscoff Spread. I was very intrigued and picked up a container of the stuff during my regular grocery shopping. I have to confess that I was a little deceiving to my family when they asked about what it was for a couple of reasons: 1) because I didn't exactly know what it was myself and 2) I had a feeling that once they tasted it I would lose it for my baking project. According to Audrey after taking just one bite - "this stuff is meant for a spoon right out of the jar!" She even agreed with me when I said I thought it was better than Nutella - which is huge considering that she seems to think Nutella is as important to one's diet as water! Craig simply told me not to ever make these again because they are evil. That's pretty high praise actually :)
This recipe comes from the King Arthur Flour blog (http://www.kingarthurflour.com/blog/2012/09/12/biscoff-scones/) and it was quite simple to throw together actually. It was a snowy day and I wasn't feeling all that well so to have something quick and comforting was perfect.
This is the dry ingredients after the butter has been cut in
I took the suggestion to leave the butter in a little larger chunks
This is the glaze to top the warm scones that make them scrumptious!
These scones were moist and chewy but had a melt in your mouth feel at the same time. They are actually like a perfect combination of a cookie and a cake, yet a scone. It is just a marvelous experience to enjoy any time of day!
