Chocolate Chip-Hazelnut Scones

Wednesday, May 15, 2013

During my time at King Arthur Flour's Blog & Bake™, I found a new love. Now, don't worry. Quinn is not going anywhere. I found a new baking love - white whole wheat flour. Sure, I'd seen it before, but I always kind of discounted it and went with traditional wheat flour when needed. But, I found out that white whole wheat flour has all the benefits of whole wheat flour, but it produces lighter-colored baked goods with a milder flavor. There's red wheat, where we get whole wheat flour, and then there's white spring wheat, which gives us white whole wheat flour.

As that collection of recipes last Friday hopefully conveyed, I love baking with berries. I love all kinds of berries, but if I have to pick a favorite berry, I would likely choose blueberries. And, one of my favorite uses for blueberries is muffins. Just to make these blueberry muffins even better, I used one of my favorite baking ingredients - sour cream. I love the texture and flavor that it adds. These little muffins are everything you'd want in a blueberry muffin. They are seriously dangerous, though, because you'll be tempted to eat one right after another.

Weekly Mix: Breakfast Baking

Happy Friday, my baking friends! I'm not sure where this week has gone, but I imagine it's mired somewhere in all the baking I've done this week. I've lost count of the pounds of butter and flour I've gone through in the last few days. In addition to my regular amount of baking, I am also baking many, many cookies for the NYC Bake Sale that's happening at Brooklyn Flea in Fort Greene this Saturday. If you're not familiar with this big event, it features baked goods from New York area food bloggers and local bakeries. Trust me, that's some good stuff. Plus, all proceeds benefit No Kid Hungry, a national nonprofit organization that's helping to end childhood hunger by 2015. In BoB news, you may have noticed a theme this week. Breakfast was the hot topic as we started out with Mocha Muffins and moved to Cinnamon Roll Cake. It was really unintentional, but I figure we'll just keep going with it today.

Quick breads and other breakfast baked goods are in my top 5 things to bake. I love them fresh from the oven. My not being much of a morning person makes it so they don't get baked that often. I should really work on that. I feel that there are two different kinds of quick breads. There are the dessert-level sweet kind. While I like those (hello, gorgeous!), my heart lies with the less sweet ones. Those are the ones that are great for a lazy weekend morning or even an afternoon treat.

One of my favorite bakeries is one I've never visited. I dream of going to Baked, but I haven't made it there yet. Until I do, I console myself with making their recipes and mapping the best routes to Red Hook. This recipe is from the Baked guys' latest cookbook, Baked Explorations: Classic American Desserts Reinvented. I like to flag recipes I want to try in my cookbooks, and this one is spilling over with post-its.
