Will give it a try. I make scones often. Just did them this week--miniature ones for yet another tea party with my granddaughter--some with currants, some with cranberries & some with mini chocolate chips. Hadn't heard of hazelnut flour either--will look for it. I love both dried cherries and hazelnuts. Thanks for your wonderful ideas and recipes.PCStamperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14376326366932002095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236430084801008700.post-37908745150500693372012-08-25T15:41:57.527-07:002012-08-25T15:41:57.527-07:00I love scones–these sound great!

The ease of it being readily available (in bulk) and the leavening being evenly distributed is what sold me on buying their brand. I wish our stores would carry it instead of having to order it though.<br />The grating was something I came up with so cold butter gets evenly distributed. I use to pop it in my food processor to do that part and then, hand mix the rest, but using the stand mixer makes it so much easier and one less bowl to wash!

I did see it when I was at the KAF Education Center last month. I have a small kitchen and have always felt I don't need to add one more thing to my pantry! Your scones look wonderful and I also love the butter grating idea! Have a wonderful weekend. xoxo ♥<br />Martha EllenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236430084801008700.post-65716762988581675712012-08-24T08:15:21.240-07:002012-08-24T08:15:21.240-07:00Hmmmmmm, another one of your little tricks---grati...Hmmmmmm, another one of your little tricks---grating the butter!! I will try it next time. I have used your hint about not twising the cutter with very good results. The scones look really good and I will also try the KAF self-rising flour.
