This week the Tuesday with Dorie recipe was apple cheddar scones. I like scones, but thought the apple and cheddar was an interesting (weird) combination. But I made the scones as the recipe stated and I thought they turned out pretty good. They weren't over the top wonderful, and I think I would tweak the ingredients next time I make them, but the overall flavor of the dough with the cornmeal was good. I think my problem was that neither the apple nor the cheddar was a very strong flavor, so it didn't really stand out much. Maybe making an all the way savory (more cheddar and rosemary?) or all the way sweet (more apples and sugar with cinnamon?) would be better. And these babies definitely taste best right out of the oven...but don't all baked goods?
So I would say this recipe was a success because I am no longer intimidated by scones (although the sticky dough made it difficult to work with) and I have a good base recipe for the next time I make them. To see the recipe check out The Floured Apron.
