Red Velvet Scones

Red Velvet Scones @createdbydiane

What can I say..

I can’t help myself…

I just LOVE scones.

I’ve made many…many varieties of scones and it was high time I made some Red Velvet Scones, don’t you think?

 

Red Velvet Scones

I just love that in a few minutes scones are all ready to eat…

scones

hot out of the oven,

slathered in butter,

or cooled and then iced with cream cheese icing…

with sprinkles for some extra fun too.

*Be sure the butter is ice cold. I often dice it up on a piece of wax paper and place it in the freezer while I gather everything else and begin mixing.

*LorAnns Red velvet Emulsion imparts both flavor and color.

Once the icing dries, these can be stacked up and you can take them over to your sweetie and enjoy!

Or you can keep them all to yourself. It’s perfectly reasonable to hide some and keep them all to yourself if you ask me.

    These look so good. I just made a batch of banana blueberry scones yesterday and they were awesome! What is dry buttermilk? Can you get that in your regular grocery store? If not, can you sub in regular buttermilk?

    I wonder if I can get someone to make these for me for Valentine’s Day. Might have to not so subtly pass this along to Eric.
