Wah-Wah! RRF’s UN-cakey cookies still came out cakey for me!
October 24, 2007 at 10:07 am | In Uncategorized |I fail at life. :(
I followed the recipe and made them as thin as could be, and yet. bah!
BUT I made the following pumpkin scones, and those turned out really well. I guess I won’t burn my apron just yet…
using this recipe, except I used a mixture of half sour cream, half unsweetened soy milk for the heavy cream. and I didn’t add raisins. oh and I used EB buttery sticks instead of the butter.
I used the ginger molasses icing recipe too, but more than halved it.
ps: I’m seriously dying to take a trip to LA soon in order to go to Scoops and other delicious places. December, if all goes well…right, Bazu?

they may not have turned out exactly as planned, but they still look like something i’d shamelessly devour in a (milli)second. :)

oh Sara, these are the scones, not the cookies. :)

They look gorgeous and so delicious. I must try these.
It sucks that RRF”s cookies didn’t work out for you. :( I think I’m going to give them a go this weekend, fingers crossed!

let me know if they work out for you, Ash! I have no clue what I did wrong.

YES!! I’m SO glad you made a vegan version of these scones - Nicole had asked me to tell her how they’d turn out, if I made them, but the recipe intimidated me, haha. Thanks for taking the pressure off! :0)

Pumpkin scones! And I have a pumpkin on my table right now…hmmm…never mind that I have a loaf of banana-coconut-rum bread in the oven right now. I wish I could bake as much as you!

Nicole did, Liz? OOPS! I’m sorry I did it before you had a chance! I’m sure you’ll do perfectly. I forgot to mention, I was almost out of light brown sugar so I subbed 3 T of sugar in the raw for it. I think you can even see the crystals on the pic. ;p
mmmm, banana coconut rum bread. :D

A lot of cookies I make have a tendency to be cakey as well; drives me batty. The icing on the scones is a nice touch!

i just opened a huge can of pumpkin so now i have any excuse to make these :) and you could never fail at life, Celine.

Oh, that looks so wonderful. I love the sour cream/milk idea for a heavy cream substitution- perfect!
Oh, and Celine, my trip to California will NOT be complete without you! And scoops! But mainly you… but also scoops. =)

The pumpkin scones look so good! I saw pumpkin spice Silk at the store the other day. I may get some and use that for the heavy cream! I think I need one of your pumpkin scones and a cup o’tea right about now!
Comment by Sarena — October 24, 2007 #
mmmm, pumpkin spice Silk! it’d go perfect, no doubt.
Comment by Celine — October 24, 2007 #
Yum! These scones look soo good! I’ll have to try making them - I bet the flavors from the pumpkin & the ginger molasses icing make a perfect pair…

If you and Bazu are coming to L.A. in December, please let me know…I’m sure that Foodeater at To Live and Eat in L.A., Your Vegan Mom (sorry to speak for the two of you…I was just thinking it’d be fun), and I would all like to meet up with the two of you!

Like Sarena, I caved in on the silk pumpkin spice and these scones have my eye and belly on the hook–can’t wait to give them a try using the silk! They look fantastic, as does all your stuff.

Crunch, num, num…is sound if me gobbling up pumpkin scones. My favorite scone before going vegan was the Starbucks, maple oat. I think these could rival them.

You do NOT fail at life! You are a cooking/baking/blogging genius! Those scones are making my mouth water…

Heck yeah Vegyogini, we can’t let Celine come to L.A. without a fabulous food fest! With all of us there, the kitchens at Pure Luck and Scoops will probably be left empty!
Good thing it’ll be December and not now… it will probably take until then for all the damn smoke to clear.

celine and bazu, if you guys are going to do some vegan eating in LA, you must let me know! i would love to join you (as bazu knows, i’m just a little south of LA…) :)

Hey, I just noticed that a bunch of other people responded in the same way… December vegan blogger “convention” in LA?!? :D
Comment by textual bulldog — October 25, 2007 #
omg they didn’t work?!
but mine were uncakey!did you take pics?you saw my pics,right?gahh,tell me about it,mabye the problem can be fixed?
also,those scones look incredible.
Comment by evan — October 25, 2007 #
I took pics but then it broke my heart to see them so I didn’t keep them (the pictures, I kept the cookies of course!). :(
I have no clue! did you spoon the flour into the measure or did you just scoop the flour up directly? I scooped. I also halved the recipe, but that’s it! I flattened them a lot before putting them into the oven. was your dough very sticky too?
Comment by Celine — October 25, 2007 #
about meeting up in LA: it sounds like the best damn idea I’ve heard in a long, long time. and now I’m itching to come around even sooner than in December. yet another [less important] reason why those fires need to be contained soon, indeed!
Comment by Celine — October 25, 2007 #
Mmm, sound good! I tested a pumpkin scone recipe that was excellent, but the cookbook author is….well, maybe MIA? I have to look into where she is and the status of her book!
Comment by cherie — October 25, 2007 #
hmm,well i mention flouring yr hands in the recipe and i did that because it was sticky,and i did scoop…..maybe it’s our ovens?
