Harvey's Grandma Johnson's Scones



When I started my baking frenzy, I was looking at the top 10 bread recipe from allrecipes.com when I came across Grandma Johnson's Scones. Without an idea what a scone is, I was motivated to try out this recipe due to its high ratings, although the photo of the baked product submitted by the users didn't make it look very appealing. They look like deformed cookies.

Anyway I procrastinated and only waited until today to try it out because my packet of sour cream exceeded its expiry date (4th of Oct) but I still used the sour cream anyway coz it wasn't cheap and it didn't smell fragrant. Seriously, the sour cream expired but I think it's still edible. No molds or creepy crawly creatures inside.

Anyway, I didn't bother to knead the whole mixture; I relied solely on my stand mixer and shaped the gooey dough into round rolls. Took me less than 2 hours. Despite my lack of effort, I'm happy that the end result wasn't a fiasco. It was not bad at all. It's crunchy on the outside and spongy on the inside with a heavenly butter taste. Kinda like cookie-coated cake.

I just hope I'm not getting a stomach ache.

Edit: Ate two piece. No stomach ache, no diarrhea, no nothing, so far so good. :)

Hohoho, no problem. There'll inevitably be more, bigger problems in the future and you have us bloggers to lend you mental support. Hehe, or I can let you taste my scones.

This is my submission to allrecipes.com. Everyone tends to steal this one, and it is a nice compliment, but allrecipes gets REAL cranky about this kind of thing! Suggest you de-list this one. Allrecipes always thanks me for Googling this once in awhile.

My Grandma Johnson was the worlds best cook. May she rest in peace.
