Sprinkle Scones

Sprinkle Scones

Sprinkle Scones @createdbydiane

Sprinkle Scones are perfect for birthday breakfasts or really any day you would like to add some extra sprinkles to your day.

Today just happens to be a day that extra sprinkles are certainly in order.

It’s my birthday!

Birthday Scones seemed to be the perfect thing to start my day.

I’m thinking maybe I should start every day with a bunch of sprinkles, they are so pretty and fun!

These have the wonderful taste of birthday cake, and all those colorful sprinkles really make it seem like a party and you can eat them for BREAKFAST…..Yippee!

Every day should start with sprinkles.

making scones in a food processor

I made these using by starting the dough in a food processor, they scones turn out a bit lighter and fluffier which is what I wanted for these cake batter tasting fluffy birthday cake texture I recall all yummy birthday cake having as a kid. The butter gets cut into smaller pieces creating tinier pockets of air when they bake resulting in a fluffier scone.

 

Sprinkles in Scone Batter

after the batter is mixed up add in the sprinkles.

then roll out the dough on  a floured surface or between wax paper with a little flour so it doesn’t stick. I rolled out the dough with the rolling pin resting on two 1/2″ dowels on the ends so the scones would be even. I just love this trick. I use it to get even cookies too.

Funfetti Recipe

I like LOTS of sprinkles. I originally  portioned out 1/4 cup sprinkles to top the scones with, but increased the measurement because I added more….can you blame me?

    Hi! I was making these the other night and ran inti a snag. In the list of ingredients it doesn’t show eggs but in step 3 it says to combine eggs? Did you use eggs? and if so how many?

    THank you! I adore your blog!!!

    […] There are so many things I use my KitchenAid Mixer for like making shredded chicken for the week in 22 minutes. I use it to make Italian Buttercream Frosting along with lots of yummy baked goods such as cookies, cakes, and scones. […]
