Oat Scones

These taste like yummy English scones not the kind you get at Starbucks.  A bit like a biscuit and with a touch of jam I just love them.  This is my new favorite scone.  It is also easy enough to put together in the morning and have it for breakfast.  A Williams-Sonoma Recipe.

Chocolate Braid

I got a new cookbook!  William Sonoma's Essentials of Baking.  I bought it blind off of the internet which is completely out of character for me.  I find that so many new cookbook just use way too much butter and the recipes just don't work with my limitation.  (my rule is 1 stick per 1 1/2 cup of flour).   Anyway, this book turned out to be pretty great!    How can you go wrong with William Sonoma recipes anyway?  This one goes together super fast since I use store bought puff pastry (no way can I make Danish pastry with my butter).  This braid is so good but I might have shot myself in the foot.  On lazy days, I just roll some chocolate chips up in crescent rolls and call it good.  Now that my family has tasted this heavenly thing, I don't think they will love my super easy cheat dessert quite as much anymore.
