Scones :)

I absolutely loooove scones. Love how they are crumbly and slightly crispy on the outside, and moist and soft on the inside. Love how it tastes like bread and biscuit at the same time, and I especially love the buttermilk taste! I can eat scones plain, I don't need jam or butter because the plain taste is what I love hahaha.

Unfortunately, I can't find any plain scones around! I've searched in every cafe and coffee joint I've been to, but most don't serve scones. When they do, it's always raisin scones ugh! Whoever invented raisins and incorporated them into food will definitely not be thanked by me!! (If you can't already tell, I really hate raisins hahaha)

So I've been itching to bake something for awhile now, and I've been looking at recipes and thinking about what I can make. Then it hit me: why not make my own plain scones?

I immediately went about looking for the best recipes and buying ingredients. My mom was actually really skeptical of me going into the kitchen and I think she probably secretly thought I would fail... in fact when I was kneading my dough I was feeling quite sad because I changed up quite a few things in the recipe and I kept obsessing over the mistakes that I thought I had already made. But I prayed that it wouldn't be a disaster, so thank you Lord :)

I was really excited and I kept checking the oven!! Every time I bake something, the most excruciating part is waiting for the final product to materialize in the often and waiting for it to cool down after I take it out hahaha.

Ta-dah! Out of the oven

I used a non-stick pan which I adoreee because it's so easy to remove whatever I'm baking!!

Raisin-less buttermilk scones :)

When I ate one I was expecting a really bad taste, but to my surprise it was quite the taste I've been missing and looking for! I thought maybe I was biased so I called my mom and my helper to try one each, and they both said the scones were delicious :)

I also let T try one, and I thought he would be the ultimate taste test because he dislikes scones very much. He ended up having two!! He told me they were delicious, but I think he's secretly biased :)

So the moral of the story is: Anybody can bake, if you really put your heart into it!!! I am entirely undomestic and I'm really handicapped in the kitchen, but I can't believe I managed to produce these scones with my bare hands from scratch :') they really did satisfy my craving for raisin-less buttermilk scones!

Stay tuned for more of my baking adventures! ;)
