Scones for St. Patrick's Day

Irish Soda Bread - Raisins and caraway seeds give this scone some attitude. Sweet and savory, this is one quick bread that can tantalize your taste buds.

Irish Soda Bread
Because of the versatility of this recipe, you can roll out the dough and cut into rounds, as for biscuits, or make larger rounds, cut diagonally into eighths and serve like the traditional scones. Either way, serve with an assortment of toppings

Orange Cranberry Scones
Perfect for breakfast, brunch or tea - These are fruity and nutty. You can even substitute the cranberries for chocolate chips.

Spicy Fig Scones

Sweet and cinnamon-spicy, these are dotted with crunchy bits of chopped figs.

 

Traditional Scones

A basic scone recipe with variations for bacon-cheddar scones, shortcakes, or fruit scones. More like a biscuit, but with more body and a firm texture. Serve the original recipe with fruits, toppings and a pot of tea.

Apple Hazelnut Scones
These are not your basic scones - chopped apples and hazelnuts make them exceptional. You may want to bake a double batch over the weekend, so you can have some to enjoy at coffee breaks during the week.
