Biscuits and Scones

Biscuits and Scones are both soft, tender, and quicker to make than yeast bread. And, while they have many things in common, they are also quite different. Buttermilk Biscuits and Cream Biscuits are fluffy and flaky, and a welcome addition to any meal, breakfast, lunch or dinner. Scones are more rich and dense, and include a heavy cream and eggs to achieve a tender and crumbly texture. Scones are often served for breakfast, brunch, or as an afternoon snack, but recipes like Vanilla Glazed Scones or Chocolate Peanut Butter Scones are decadent enough to serve for dessert.

Hello! I'm Rebecca Blackwell, writer, recipe developer, and food photographer. My husband and I are nomads without a home base but with many modes of transportation, namely an RV, a motorcycle, and a sailboat.

While I have cooked professionally, I am a home cook and baker who writes recipes for other home cooks and bakers. My home happens to have wheels, and occasionally sails, which should tell you that if the recipes work in my tiny kitchen, they will certainly work in yours.
