Having leftover fresh ground flour from the ricotta pancakes, I decided to make some scones.
Scones are great! Not as dense as muffins, the right size for a snack and, like muffins, very pliable to modification.
Rummaging around the pantry and fridge revealed some strawberry yogurt and the last little bit of shredded coconut so strawberry-colada became the flavor of the day.
Unfortunately, I did not have any fresh or dried strawberries which I think would have made these scones even better; the currants worked well but the scones were a little light in the strawberry flavor.
In the future, I'll make sure to have strawberries available the next time I want to bake these.
In the past when I have made scone recipes using fresh ground flour I find that sometimes they are more dense than I'd like. Wanting to make sure these were light more fluffy I separated the egg. If you are using whole grain flour you may want to do the same.
