I do not review many books - not because I shouldn't (because I should!), but because I am lazy.However, this one is SO good that I just had to take some time to say thanks to the author.I am not one of nature's bakers - I am a good cook, but a lot of baking is chemistry, not cooking.But I love scones, so I took a chance on this book - and it is a complete winner. Even better - so far, it's fool-proof - and for me that's saying a LOT.In an excess of enthusiasm, I have tried 3 recipes in 2 days.Last night I started out with the first recipe for simple scones - based on the principle that if the easiest, most basic offering was excellent, it boded well for the more complicated offerings. Also, to get my feet wet - and happily I had all ingredients at hand.Last night I had to call them "biscuits" to get my husband to try one. Today, he is now fine with the term "scone", and asked which flavor I was making today. If you knew him, you would realize how amazing this is. He had a cheese scone for dinner, and is looking forward to a brown sugar and pecan scone topped with strawberries and whipped cream left over from the recipe for dessert. He is a happy camper and total convert to the world of scones. Now the problem will be explaining why he can't have them every day.The basic scone recipe went together easily. Her tip to freeze the butter is, I think, a big part of this. Grating it is kind of a pain, but I think it's probably easier than cutting the butter into pieces unfrozen. For whatever reason, they were delicious. I omitted the raisins, because my husband doesn't like them - but they were still wonderful. Buttery and fall-apart in your mouth.Today, I was out to the market to get heavy cream and pecans.
