Yesterday morning

Yesterday morning, I decided to be lazy. My work schedule is extremely flexible, and with my partner out of work at the moment, it made for a lazy morning.

The day before, I made butterscotch scones, so those were reheated along with some of Teavana's Thai Tea Blend (definitely our house favorite, along with Elmwood Inn's Indian Chai).

My wonderful partner surprised me by setting the table and bringing out the tea, milk, and sugar, and we all had an actual breakfast together.... it's been a while since we managed that!

Here is the recipe for the scones I made. They turned out a little dry, so I still have some more experimenting to do.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups All Purpose Flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
4 Tbsp brown sugar
6 Tbsp cold salted butter, cut into cubes
3/4 cup milk
1 egg slightly beaten
1 tsp. of vanilla
2 Tbl. of sugar in the raw for sprinkling on top

approx 3/4 cup butterscotch chips

(This recipe originally called for white sugar, less butter, and cream instead of milk, but I modified based on what I had on-hand.)

I blended the dry ingredients, plus butter, in the food processor, then added the wet ingredients. After mixing thoroughly, sifting in a little more flour to dry out the (very wet) dough, I folded in the butterscotch chips.

These were baked at 400F for about 15 minutes, and slathered with butter. As I said, they came out a little dry, but the flavor was good. Salty-sweet, just as butterscotch should be, and excellent with Thai Tea Blend.
