We have all done it. Enjoyed a scone at the fair so much that we buy extra. Some folks microwave them the next morning to enjoy with their coffee. Some people order them up plain with hopes that freezing them will work. It just isn't the same. Nothing is better than a fresh scone out of the oven.
I love scones. With jam, plain, cheese scones, berry scones, any scones. The best scones, of course, are the Fisher Fair Scones.
I saw a box of "Fisher Fair" scone mix at Costco. I had to get it. It was pretty easy to make. You do a little bit of kneading. That isn't something I do everyday...especially with something made from a box. My boys and I mixed in water, kneaded, and cut out the triangle shapes. We got the hot scones out of the oven and loaded them up with home made jam and butter. Yummy! Mmmm, Mmmm, good. Just like the fair.
The box comes with 4 pouches. You can make a dozen scones from each pouch. All you need is water to mix it and some flour to knead it. You can do a variation by adding blueberries, cheese, or nuts. the box also has recipes for shortcake and gourmet waffles.
Enjoy!
