I-LOVE-YOU SCONES
I got this from the Betty Crocker website, and I thought I would post it here for the benefit of anyone who might be looking for recipe ideas for Valentine's Day, a special anniversary, or a romantic breakfast for two. I made them only once (with raspberry preserves and homemade applesauce), and they turned out rather well. It does require using your hands to shape the dough into heart-shaped scones. But it's not really all that difficult, and well worth that little extra effort for a romantic occasion. These aren't terribly sweet scones, so you might want to increase the sugar to about 1/2 cup (or more, to suit your taste preference) for a sweetnees boost.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400º. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Beat egg slightly in a medium bowl. Add the milk, applesauce, butter, and almond extract, and stir until well blended. Add the flour, sliced almonds, sugar, baking powder and salt, and stir just until the batter is moist.
- Drop 1/4 cupfuls of dough onto the baking sheet about 3 inches apart. Dust your fingers with flour and, using your dusted fingers, pat the dough into heart shapes about 3 inches wide and 1/2 inch high.
- Dip the back of a spoon into the flour, and use the floured spoon to make a shallow well in the center of each heart. Place 1/2 teaspoon of preserves into each well [I used more like a full teaspoonful of preserves for each scone].
- Bake at 400º for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the scones to a cooking rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar while still warm.
- Serve warm.
- TIPS - you can measure the ingredients the night before, so all you do is make and bake on serving day. Also, you can use vanilla extract instead of the almond extract.

Tips:
- Choose the right flour. For scones, a blend of all-purpose flour and cake flour is ideal. The all-purpose flour provides structure, while the cake flour makes the scones tender and crumbly.
- Use cold butter. Cold butter is essential for creating flaky scones. When the butter is cold, it stays in small pieces and creates pockets of steam as it bakes, which results in a light and airy texture.
- Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the scones tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined and then stop.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough helps to develop the flavor and makes it easier to handle. You can chill the dough for up to 2 hours before baking.
- Bake the scones at a high temperature. A high temperature helps to create a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
- Serve the scones warm. Scones are best served warm, when they are at their freshest. You can reheat them in a low oven or toaster oven if you need to.
Conclusion:
Scones are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With so many different recipes to choose from, there's sure to be a scone that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack, give scones a try!
