weekend baking

It's that time of year again. I have a tendancy to pull out the recipe books, and bake up a storm at this time of year. Today, it was buttermilk biscuits for breakfast...

and oat & apricot scones. This was the first time making the scones recipe. It said the dough can be frozen for up to 3 weeks, so I made a batch of 8, and put them in the freezer. After they set, I wrapped them individually, and put them back in the freezer. Now, when I want fresh scones for breakfast, all I need to do is pop a couple of these in the toaster oven for 25-30 minutes, and voila!

Both recipes are from Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook. I have tried a number of recipes from that book now, and they have all turned out wonderful. The biscuit recipe is my favourite. It's simple, and they always turn out wonderful and fluffy.
