Good morning!
I couldn't resist sharing this recipe with you. It is NOT healthy. I haven't tried modifying them yet - but have contemplated the whole wheat pastry flour. Let me know if you have an idea to sub for the heavy cream - the texture of these is SO perfect, I would hate to lose it! Maybe we'll just have to settle for these being a special occasion item! (PS - the white chocolate chips make them VERY sweet. I think I'll sub in pecans, or orange, lemon, or lime rind, or just make them plain.)
Scones (courtesy of Breanne Fairfax's mom in Ohio)
2 cups flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
1/4 cup dried cranberries or 1/2 cup blueberries
1 1/4 cup to 1 1/3 cup whipping cream or heavy cream
Mix together dry ingredients.
Add cream and form a big ball.
Knead a couple of times on floured surface.
Press ball on parchment paper (or baking sheet) until 3/4 inch thick.
Score (deep cuts) with a knife into diamonds or wedges.
Brush with 1/4 cup sugar and 1/4 cup melted butter.
Bake for 15 - 17 minutes @ 425 degrees.
On a different note altogether: an update on our desired journey from the far southeast to the far northwest. I have told mom and dad about this, but I'm not sure how far it's spread through the family. Parker got a no after making it through two rounds at Fox, and hasn't heard anything from any other schools in a while. I have a phone interview with GU in spokane tomorrow, and that is our only bright spot at the moment (as far as moving goes). The start date for that is listed as July 1, so the prospects will depend on how flexible they are. All in all, not looking good. We are incredibly disappointed, frustrated, and trying to fight a rising feeling of hopelessness, remembering that God is faithful. Please continue to pray for us as we continue to make every effort to move home, and as we begin to contemplate the reality of staying here.
Love you and miss you all so much!

those scones sound SO good! maybe instead of white choc you could use semisweet or even almonds! mmm!
ReplyDeleteas far as moving - I'm so sorry - I know how badly you two want to get back home....so don't give up yet! I've been in OK for 14 years and still hope to get back someday :)
love and hugs!
Maybe, just maybe God is directing your talents in another direction up here. There is a job as a coordinator for youth at risk in intercity Seattle just posted (one of the biggest mission fields in the world). One of the requirements is a commitment to having a relationship with Jesus Christ and a BA so I think you both meet the requirements. Lastly take a look at crista ministries. We'll be praying and we love you guys
