Myself, I favor the crumbly stuff, although both are good. Kinda like the frozen yogurt vs. ice cream comparison, they're both good but they aren't to be directly compared. So I'd say don't worry if your scones don't look like they rose enough.<BR/><BR/>Like cornbread, ya know. Some people like the sweet cake-like stuff, but not us.--Lisa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03562102801776978267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244190.post-91402095556440464192008-08-17T15:44:00.000-04:002008-08-17T15:44:00.000-04:00Thanks, Camilla!

There's a muffin recipe I want to try out of the same cookbook if I can commandeer some apples.Lenorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245333065022222749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244190.post-81994535318482236512008-08-16T23:43:00.000-04:002008-08-16T23:43:00.000-04:00I think the liquid portion looking curdled and chu...I think the liquid portion looking curdled and chunky is perfectly fine. Lumpy butter is what gives it a coarse crumb. (I favor a recipe that has you use a pastry cutter, and not melt the butter, but I think it comes to the same thing.)<BR/><BR/>Scones are muffin-like, in that you've mixed too long if the dough/batter looks smooth and homogeneous. I dump the whole mess into a pie pan, then dump that onto the cookie sheet, to cut them apart there. They don't hold together enough to pick them up, so I push them around with the side of a spatula.Camillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15097137138778339958noreply@blogger.com
