Avocado Scones

Not content to have had the pleasure of two (2) raspberry scones on separate occasions yesterday, I was determined to bake a batch of scones tonight. But not just any, no. For weeks I’ve been wanting to bake avocado scones, sure that two of my most beloved foods couldn’t help but have a wonderful marriage. Got the recipe here, and the results were extraordinary. The best scone I’ve ever had in my life, and let’s just say, I’ve had a few. The avocado flavour was barely there, but everyone’s favourite fatty fruit (but the good fat) had left its mark in a green tinge, and such unbelievable moistness. The perfect savoury accompaniment to my dinner tonight, which was a rice salad, with feta, roast red pepper, chickpeas and dill. And then for lunch tomorrow! There’s so much to look forward to.

One thought on “Avocado Scones”

  1. Rona Maynard says:

    Now I just might bake the first scones of my life. Everything tastes better with avocadoes, but few North Americans have figured this out. In South America, they serve mashed avocadoes as a side dish, make avocado ice cream and tuck slices of avocado into all kinds of sandwiches.
