Lately I have been reading Cooks Illustrated and Cooks Country all part of America's Test kitchen and have been feeling a little inspired. More inspired to test and recreate yummy things. My things are not very gourmet, but its fun. So today I craved scones. There is a coffee shop a few blocks away called Crema and I really love their scones. When I want a scone I want to go there. They have such an excellent texture, and often they are dolloped with some sort of deliciousness. So I decided I should make my own yummy scones. I often opt for a chocolate chip scone, but today I did something different. My sou chef (Maia) and I used a scone recipe that I often use and adapted it to what I had on hand(it calls for sour cream, but I had whipping cream that sort of thing). I then cut them into triangles and pressed a little circle indent. I grabbed raspberry jam that I had made this summer with the abundance of raspberries I picked and proceeded to put a little dollop in each scone.
When they were done. Whallah! Beautiful raspberry scones.

The taste panel was speechless.
