Happy Birthday to The Canary Diaries!

One year ago today I started this blog as a way to catalog things I like (and Benji's antics of course). Thank you for reading!


My first post was a recipe, so as a nod to that post below is a recipe I just love. It's perfect for a game day breakfast too, so it is especially apropos today.

Regan's Scones

Preheat oven to 450 F. Sift together in one large bowl the following:
1 3/4 C sifted all-purpose flour
2 3/4 t baking powder
1 T sugar
1/2 t salt

Cut into these ingredients until the size of small peas using a pastry blender (or in my case, two knives--note to self, get pastry blender):
1/4 C cold butter

Beat in a separate bowl:
2 eggs
1/3 C cream

Make a well in the dry ingredients. Pour the liquid into it. Combine with a few swift strokes. Handle the dough as little as possible (this is totally serious, the first time I made these, I did not follow this rule and it did not end well). Place on a lightly floured board. Pat until 3/4 inch thick. Cut into diamond-shaped scones. Brush with the reserved egg and sprinkle with sugar. Bake 15 minutes.

And, voila, scones!
