I realized today as I was putting this post together, that for a blog that’s barely four months old, Baking Mischief sure does have a lot of tea-party ready recipes. There are my Perfectly Pretty Lemon Bars, my Sherlock Tea Bag Cookies, Victoria Sponge Cupcakes, etc.
Am I subconsciously trying to tell myself something? Am I as an adult trying to create on the blog, the perfect tea party I never had as a child? Who knows? But guess what. I have another perfect tea party recipe for you today. Big shocker, I know. These Jam Scones are just about the most adorable things to come out of my kitchen in a while and so tasty. They are my favorite basic buttermilk scone base baked up with the jam of your choice (I’m partial to raspberry) with a buttery vanilla glaze. You Might Also Like: Frosted Brownies They can be served warm and gooey or cooled, with the glaze crunchy and set.
In the oven, the jam cooks down and becomes thick and syrupy and is the perfect complement to the soft, slightly crumbly scone. I make these whenever I want a dessert that’s a little different and distribute the extras to various friends and family members. After the initial WTF is a jam scone response, they are always a hit.
Who knows, maybe someday, I’ll throw that tea party of five-year-old me’s dreams and serve these Jam Scones (and all those other aforementioned treats) to my guests. Though to live up to my fantasies, the guest list would have to include at least one Disney princess, a muppet, and Rainbow Brite. So if anyone has any of their contact information, it would be much appreciated…
