Is it just me, or is it a Maple Glazed Gingerbread Scones kinda day?
These gingerbread scones are a) jumbo, because I by accident made them large – oops? B) smooth and delicately crumbly like an amazing scone should be, and c) full of warm and great gingerbread flavors like cinnamon, cloves, molasses, and ginger that basically bring the best of the satisfactory excursion feelings proper on into your home.
Also noteworthy: those gingerbread scones are subtle sugar unfastened – they’re sweetened naturally with maple syrup and molasses – which feels greater amazing round this time of 12 months, proper? So two points for that!
Annnd if I had been a REALLY saintly character I could have stopped there and now not spooned that candy, perfectly creamy, units-like-a-dream maple glaze all around the delicate sugar free scones. But I’m coming to terms with the reality that I am no longer that saintly individual proper now, and this glaze is my absolute all-time favored, and I wouldn’t love the scones with the same wild, reckless abandon if they were missing that free-flowing maple-flavored sweetness taking over the tops, so I think we can all see how that gingerbread scone tale ended. EMBRACING.
Thank you on your help and reputation of all my harassed, glaze-loving sugar selective food blogger approaches and a completely Merry Christmas to all.
Yesterday was tremendous. It snowed again! And so I made Maple Glazed Gingerbread Scones just like the happy little iciness kitchen elf that I am.
We’ve had a few virtually weird climate lately in the form of a 50 degree heat wave that melted all our snow – the grass become all tender, and it smelled like spring, and it become truely NOT OKAY. This is Minn-e-soh-ta. It’s almost Christmas and I call for that we be included in a lovely blanket of white so that I can sit down and appearance out the window eating gingerbread scones with my espresso every morning, midday, and night.
As of the day gone by, trouble solved!
Snow – take a look at. Scones – test. Me sitting round feeling sentimental – check.
Yesterday, in addition to snow and gingerbread scones, I went to a Serial podcast party.
Which is a actual component in my lifestyles right now like however critically I suggest it A SERIAL PARTY.
It became a time devoted to warm beverages, Christmasy snacks, and sitting in rocking chairs by way of the fireplace even as reviewing transcripts of all of the episodes this season and reading each viable angle of this example. I don’t even know what to mention right now after endless hours spent in the depths of the Serial subreddit and hours of actual life communication that came about last night except that I’m 50/50 absolutely down the center in phrases of whether or now not A.S. Is guilty, and I have a awful feeling that Sarah isn't going to offer us any closure in the ultimate episode tomorrow. UGH! Come ON, Sarah.
If you concentrate and you've a theory/opinion/desire for how this issue is going to give up, please fulfill my intense need to talk approximately matters and tell me errrrrything. It could be like we’re having a Serial birthday party of our personal besides surely thru the remarks phase of a food weblog. Not even weird in any respect.
The simplest component I’m now not apprehensive for the following day is the component where I will sit down with my earbuds and the podcast all queued up and get 2 hundred% at ease with a blanket, a coffee, and a Maple Glazed Gingerbread Scone at the same time as searching out the window on the snowy white.
