Daring Bakers: Scones aka Biscuits

Audax Artifex was our January 2012 Daring Bakers’ host.. Aud worked tirelessly to master light and fluffy scones (a/k/a biscuits) to help us create delicious and perfect batches in our own kitchens!

I shouldn't have waited so long to do the challenge. My first batch I accidentally used baking soda (oops!) instead of powder so while those came out pretty they tasted really, really gross.

My second batch did not come out as puffed or as pretty as I would have liked. But I'm already late on the challenge so I'll have to try some other time. Here are my ugly biscuits in a horrible picture...totally not in focus =(

Biscuits Made with Half and Half

Coconut Macaroons

Coconut Macaroons

Last October Birthday! I made these for Sarah's birthday and I was happy to hear that both her and Wilmar really liked them!

Madeleines for Madeline

Orange Scented Madeleines Dipped in Chocolate

These cookies (also referred to as cakes because of their consistency) were for Madi's birthday in October, as well. I think I used the recipe from Joy Of Baking but I'm not positive. I added orange zest because I really like the combination of chocolate and orange (like the chocolate oranges you break open!).

White Chocolate Macademia Nut Cookies

I'm super behind on posts. These cookies are from Melissa's birthday in October. It was so long ago, I can't remember what recipe I used. Oops!
