Not your Normal Easter Feast

So instead of ham for dinner with the yummy stuff I decided to make Navajo Tacos with homemade scones. You all should be impressed that I didn't use Rhodes Rolls because that is the extent of my scone making capabilities. Our friends had us over as few weeks ago for the same yummy dinner and she gave me her recipe for homemade scones and said it was pretty easy. So I gave it a shot. They turned out way good and the recipe made a ton so we froze some of the dough as well ready to be fried up for some other time.













I would have to say that the best part is the honey butter that I made to go along with the dessert (scones again). Derrick was even impressed that we thought we would document this huge event of mine (I'm always scared to try new recipes when yeast is involved). The recipe was really easy so give it a try (Jen I know you will, I must say they are better than chuck-a-rama scones!) Let me know what you think if you try the recipe. It is for sure a keeper, I only had to wait 5 mins for the yeast to dissolve and you don't even have to wait for the dough to rise. What a great recipe!














Scones
2 T. dry yeast
2 c. warm water
1/3 c. sugar
1/3 c. melted butter
1 1/2 t. salt
2/3 c. powdered milk
1 egg
5-6 c. flour

Heat oil to 375 degrees. Mix yeast, water, sugar, and butter in a large bowl and let sit for five minutes. Use mixer to incorporate salt, milk, egg, and two cups of flour; beat until smooth. Use a wooden spoon to mix in enough flour to make sticky yet manageable dough. Roll out in batches on a well-floured surface and slice into rectangles. Fry for approx. two minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Enjoy!

Go tiny little belly woman! You should have turned a little bit more around so we could all see your cute little belly! ...mmmmm scones, I wish I was there enjoying them with you. I will totally try this recipe. I'm sure it's awesome! Way to go Betty Crocker lady.

The scones were delicious on Easter, however, with all the great feeling I got with the scones my day just broke even, because Les seemed to have hid my Easter Basket so good I couldn't find it?

What is this female infatuation with tummys in the Harris family? Thank goodness I have yet to hear Gary utter those words. Please Gary don't let me down, refrain from even the mention of the word tummy!

Lookin' good! You are right...I will probably never make scones from scratch...if only I could be more like you! For me, Rhodes rolls still make pretty good scones. Maybe when you move back you can make these scones and share them with your family!!! Happy Monday!

I'm impressed that you tried something yeast-y! The one time I tried a yeast recipe, it was a disaster. I may try your scone recipe later this week if I'm feeling adventurous. I did try making chocolate dipped strawberries last week...they turned out okay, but there was room for improvement.

I am impresesd! The scones look so yummy (I feel a craving coming on) and you look adorable cooking them. BTW, I love your blog layout. You'll have to teach me how to do that.

It is easy to forget to eat when you are working really hard, so take the time to
nourish your body. I was surprised simply because I suspected the Amish built premium products.

One minute you're enjoying the hazy copper aura of Fall and then wham, it's November.

It is important to put some thought into what type of toothbrush you
are going to be using on a daily basis. When the head of your electric toothbrush
needs to be replaced you only need to buy a new head for the electric toothbrush.
Like most non-rechargeables, the Arm & Hammer Spinbrush Pro comes with just two brush movements, spinning and side-to-side.

Decades ago when some American coaches saw what their superior
Baltic counterparts were training their
athletes with for certain strength competitions, they began slowly to incorporate kettlebells
into their programs. However, if you travel often, or even if you choose not to take that long break, there is no reason to stop
exercise.

It can hurt at first though, so prepare your face by running an ice cube over the brow line or other part of the face that will be plucked free of unwanted hair.

Since the holiday season is approaching, you can rest assured that you

Michaels Crafts Store has some great foam visors made by Creatology Brand or you
can purchase foam visors at any craft store near you.

Therefore your needs will change in a supplier to purchase your goods from.

I have many such items on the front of my fridge and I have always struggled with
powerful magnets that didn't take up too much space.

Adjustable dumbbells cost closer to six hundred
dollars while a sufficient set of traditional dumbbells
can be purchased for less than four hundred dollars.
In addition to a standard straight bar is the "E-Z" bar,
which is very popular for biceps routines, because the bent nature
of the middle portions of the bar allow you to use it with inward palms, eliminating wrist strain.

Slowly lower dumbbell to start position and repeat.
Everything you need, from workouts to meal plans,
is laid out for you. Start in the standing position with dumbbells
held in the shoulder press position, squat down until your thighs are parallel to the floor
then return to standing position.

t be sure of the time ,you can check it on the internet about Michaels, in case of your loss.
You only want to shell out for genuine delivers so be mindful if you are needed for any fee or membership to get access to these coupons.
The staff person I talked to thought it would be
best for me to come into the store so that I could review their whole list of birthday party
crafts, each with a different cost.

Which you end up picking, be sure that you go through
reviews from buyers to enable you to remember to be keeping
the best ones for you personally. If you have health issues, like a
back issue, then a rack is probably a nice choice.
You would just have to obtain a strong model that is not notorious to fail when having
heavier weights.
