Today is my mom's birthday, and in our house, that's a big deal. Of
course, for me that meant spending the entire day in the kitchen,
beginning at 7 in the morning. Once I wrestled myself out of bed, I put
together a surprise Breakfast in Bed, because there's nothing better
than that! I had already prepared, shaped, and frozen the scones last
night, so this morning I just needed to bake and glaze them. Alongside
the scones, I served tea, fruit salad with shredded coconut, and
leftover muffins from an earlier Flour day. I carried the heavy tray of
food up to my parent's room, and then we enjoyed the perfect pleasure of eating in bed.
The
scones were divine. Everyone needs to try these. As my dad said, they
were the best scones he had ever eaten, and my sister said that they
were the most delicious treats I've made yet. Each scone included ginger
three ways: ground, caramelized, and grated. Each golden top was soaked
in a smooth lemon and confectioner's sugar glaze. The insides were
flaky and buttery, and for mom, warm right of the oven. A perfect way to
start off a birthday.
