Welcome to my first blog with Club Baked. This is another baking book (Baked Explorations by Matt Lewis and Renato Poliafito) that I received this past Christmas. So far everything I have tried from this book has been a huge hit in our house, and it looks like I joined just in time to make the one recipe my husband has had his eye on. He LOVES Nutella. To the point that we actually don't keep it in the house, because he will eat a full container in a day. I even hid the container when I brought it home so I would have enough to make this recipe.
The recipe was easy enough to make. I was able to get it done during the day while my youngest was napping. I decided to leave out the nuts so my baby was able to have a bit as well. I also put more Nutella then asked for in the scone. This made for a real mess when I flattened it into a round disk, but worth it in the end. These scones were super tasty and made me wish I had some vanilla ice cream.
Instead of using spoons to drizzle the Nutella on as they suggested in the book, I decided to use my squeeze tube that I use for decorating sugar cookies. This way everyone was able to put on as little Nutella or in my my family's case as much Nutella as they wanted. This was a great recipe and we will definitely be making these again. Thank you to Lorraine at PhDcupcaker, for hosting. Make sure to check out her site for the recipe. Also make sure to check out Club Baked to see how all the other bakers did.
Welcome to Club Baked! Your first recipe looks great! Great idea to add more Nutella. Mine were a little drier than I wanted, and was sure that adding more Nutella would do the trick.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Club Baked! I added you to the bakers list.
ReplyDeleteYour scones look great & your kids are so cute!
Welcome Alissa and thanks for baking a long with me this week. Wasn't this recipe great? I should have added more Nutella like you did. I also think your Nutella on top came out great using the squeeze bottle. I thought about that too, but just ended up dumping it on. Your kids are really cute too! Looks like the scones were enjoyed by all!
ReplyDeleteYours look amazing! So glad you are part of the group!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the group!! Great job on the scones. There is no such thing as too much Nutella, right??
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the group! I think adding more Nutella sounds like the answer! Your kids are so cute! Love their taste testing.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the group. So glad you are here! I love the way you drizzled the nutella. It looks great! Super smart to add more nutella inside the dough. I should have done that!!
ReplyDeleteWelcome! I should hide the Nutella in my house from myself! LOL. Your scones look fantastic and your idea to use the squeeze bottle to drizzle is genius! That's my one complaint about Nutella...it's hard to drizzle because it's so thick (even after you warm it). Will have to remember that for next time.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to put the nutella in a squeeze bottle!
