Review: These Apple scones were AMAZING and FUN to make too. Our day didn’t start to well because we had a mix up of what ingredients we had already gotten and which ones we needed to still get, as a lot of them look the same. So we had to go get all the ingredients again making sure we checked to see which ones we had and which ones we still needed. Although we fell behind a little our hard work and a full team effort we were able to still finish on time before class was done. In class to day once again we got to work on our kneading skills and how to properly knead the dough. One thing I would change is to put less sugar on the outside of the scone as the sugar was almost over bearing, otherwise they were great. These scones were so good and tasted sweet and yummy. Although we had a slow start we were able to make up the time and make some amazing scones
