Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
A tasty collection of quick and easy recipes for biscuits and scones of all types. Some are old favorites, some are new creations: Hot Cross Scones for breakfast and Gingerbread Scones for tea, Blueberry Cobbler and Caramel Banana Shortcake for dessert, savory Black Pepper Biscuit Pretzels for snacktime. Alston's earlier Muffins was popular; this is likely to be too. JS

Easy, perfect scones and shortcakes,
This review is from: Biscuits and Scones: 62 Recipes from Breakfast Biscuits to Homey Desserts (Hardcover)
After tasting yummy scones with creme fraiche and berry preserves at a high tea in London, I borrowed this book from a friend and tried several recipes. Breakfast Berry Shortcakes (p. 18) are the best ones I've very eaten, although sinfully laden with butter. And I've never before found a recipe for creme fraiche (p. 19), so much more delicious on scones than plain whipped cream. The raisin scones and simple sweet scones lived up to the ones I ate in Britain. There are complete directions and discussions with each recipe.

This review is from: Biscuits and Scones: 62 Recipes from Breakfast Biscuits to Homey Desserts (Hardcover)
I found this book in a library many years ago. After trying several recipes, I decided I needed to own it. Every single recipe was fast and easy (especially if done in a food processor) and made me look like a domestic goddess! At least three of my friends have bought this book as a result of the scones I've made for them. I also like the book of Pancakes and Waffles by Elizabeth Alston. If she ever writes a book entirely on small meals for two, I'll be first in line with cash in hand!

This review is from: Biscuits and Scones: 62 Recipes from Breakfast Biscuits to Homey Desserts (Hardcover)
This little gem has 62 recipes that are outstanding. My friend Alison has made almost all the recipes. I was munching the ginger scone topped with whipped cream, when I asked for the recipe. She brought out the book telling me the recipes she has made over the years--they all were very good. I promptly ordered it from Amazon. Now what to make for Sunday Breakfast?
