Let them Eat Cake!
So I’ve decide to title this post after Marie Antoinette’s famous phrase (you will see why in a minute). But don’t let me deceive you, this entry has no historical facts in it.
One morning last summer, I realized that the delicious triple berry scone (from Two Little Red Hens) I was enjoying was practically cake. I pondered as to why it was acceptable to have a scone for breakfast but not cake. After all, the one time I told my mom I was eating leftover birthday cake for breakfast, she gave me a very judgmental look.
Without a real answer to this puzzling question, I concluded that scones in fact are just an excuse to eat cake for breakfast. Following the words of Marie Antoinette, “Let them eat scones!”
love it
Thank you!
The thing that gets me: Some scones are sweet and cake-like, some more biscuit-y, some spongy, some impenetrable as hard-tack. I prefer cross between cake-y and biscuit-y. Could use a recipe.
Yes, agreed about the texture. Maybe I will try and make them, and if they come out successfully, I will post a recipe!
Cool..Go for it! Would like to find a good recipe. Real Brits have said to me our scones are ridiculous.
I LOVE SCONES! You have my attention now. Thanks for visiting my blog!
Yes, scones are delicious!
