Easter is my second favorite holiday. If I am a total spazz about Christmas, then I'm just a minor pest about Easter. I love the special lilies, the pastel decor, and of course, the meaning of the holiday.
I always hope that I'll wake up on Easter to a brilliant sunrise and moderate temperatures. But I live in Minnesota, and so no, yesterday was as cold and gross as ever.
I thought that I would make some sunny-ish lemon scones for a festive breakfast. Never tried making scones before. Here's what *not* to do.
Here's me, going to town with my pastry cutter, all "Oooh look- I'm going to make some fancy-but-healthy-scones and everyone's gonna be jealous of my skills." Except in the background lurks the very thing that would ruin this recipe.
"Hmm, this looks maybe a little dry...but maybe this is how it's supposed to look."
"Ha HA! I even have schmancy sugar-
Fair Trade!- to top on my scones! I am the best...person...ever."
"Uhhhhhhhh...really? Tough wheaty vaguely-triangular bricks?"
"Ok let's try to save face here. Maybe the lily will distract."
"Oooh look at the blueberry jelly! And the cute monogram teacup!"
Lesson learned- white whole wheat flour rules, but not with scones. Clearly I still ate it because, well, apparently I enjoy eating tough wheaty bricks. And also I had to hurry up and get ready for church.
Hope everyone had a beautiful Easter, regardless of weather, candy amounts, and breakfast foods.
