This week's recipe for Tuesdays with Dorie was chosen by Karina of
The Floured Apron. The recipe is Apple Cheddar Scones, which made me happy because there are many wonderful scone recipes in
Baking: From My Home to Yours and I have been eager to try them.
This recipe was also perfect for another reason. A good friend of mine recently returned from a trip to England, and brought me a scone cutter from Greenwich, England. I was so excited about the scone cutter, and then when the next recipe ended up being scones....well...the happy dance was in order.
The dough came together very well, and the scones baked up nicely. I loved the flavors from the apples and cheese, and the cornmeal in the recipe gave the scones a nice crunch. I made these over the weekend, and had a wonderful lunch and breakfast.
I do think I will need to go back to cutting the recipes in half again though....I made the full batch and ate too many of them :)

They look lovely - how nice of your friend to bring you the perfect kitchen gadget for TWD!
How great to get a new gadget from "across the pond". Those scones look lovely.
My dough was too sticky to use my scone cutter, I used and ice cream scoop. For my this was a totally different recipe from British scones but good. Glad you liked it

Such a cute little scone cutter! Glad you liked them - I halved the recipe just for that reason :-P
Cool cutter - and they make your scones look perfect!
I took one look at the recipe and knew a whole batch would be way to dangerous for me! Your scones look fantastic and I love the scone cutter!
I can relate - I made a full batch and ate far too many. I'm cutting down next week's TWD because of the danger to my thighs!
I love that scone cutter ~ I would think you could use for lots of things in the kitchen. Your scones look great!
A friend who comes bearing gifts of gadgets...those are the kind of friends to have on any day! Very nice gift...love the little lines it makes on the scones. Nice photos and great looking scones!
I'm jealous of your new kitchen gadget! Your scones look lovely!
What fortuitous timing for your new gadget. Great looking scones!
A scone cutter! What a fun tool! I need to find one for myself. So cute.
Your scones look delicious. Great job!
Well, there's scone serendipity for you. Nice job!
What a beautiful scone cutter. It almost *looks* like an antique. And it's quite thoughtful of Karina to have chosen a recipe where you could employ it. :) Your scones look delicious... great job!
