Scones, volume two

Hey internet!

Remember how I titled a post Scones volume one? Wasn't that confusing and intriguing? I know you spent tons of time wondering when I would reveal what I meant by that. Well, this is what I meant.

Once I made the extra squash for the salad, I started debating all sorts of delicious things I could do with it. I quickly determined I did not have enough to make soup, which was sad, nor did I really want to re-make the same salad again. But then the internet showed me butternut squash scones, that looked fairly similar to the scones I made last week with apples and cheddar.

But was I content to just make a NEW scone recipe? NO! I liked the ones with cheese. So I combined the recipes. However, in fear of making a big soupy mess when I literally doubled the amount of chopped apples/squash from what the recipe called for, I reigned in the cheese back to the original 1/2 cup, and added 1/2 cup flour to increase the dry ingredients. See how flakey and delicious they turned out? And sweet! I didn't even HAVE to put jelly on them. (I totally did though, for two of the three I ate).

Also, I ran out of eggs. So I didn't make an egg wash. So... I dusted them with sugar instead. Sugar=good. Not as good as cheese, but still pretty good.

These turned out huge, and I, because I am a GREAT roommate, and LOVE encouraging healthy diet choices, made the roommate help me eat them. They lasted about 2 days, due to lack of boyfriend to help in their destruction. Sads.
