Our new scone mixes are here

For some time now, we've really wanted to add a scone mix to our lineup. And for the past two months we've been working hard to do that. We did lots of research and played with lots of recipes. We learned a lot along the way—not the least of which is that scones and biscuits are very close cousins. (This was a happy discovery as we had a biscuit mix in mind for the future as well!) In the end, we had two contenders: a classic scone mix that could go plain, sweet or savory (and also makes a great biscuit!) and an oat scone mix inspired by the rustic origins of the scone in old Scotland. We couldn't choose, so we decided to go with both.

Our Rustic Spelt Scone & Biscuit Mix is made exclusively with fresh-ground organic spelt, ground finer than our other products to give it a surprisingly light texture and a beautiful subtle yet rich grainy flavor. As mentioned, it can go sweet or savory and can be made scone or biscuit style. Many home cooks shy away from making scones as the preparation can seem somewhat involved. But we've developed a quick easy method that makes a great product every time. We're planning to make a short video soon to show you how quick and easy it is.

Our Old Scottish Oat Scone & Baking Mix is made with fresh-ground spelt blended with fresh, raw cracked and flaked oats and is substantially sweeter. The result is not what a scone traditionalist would expect, but it is so good we just couldn't let it drop. Plus, we have in mind that this product will be very flexible, and we've already developed a couple of interesting recipes for bars and crumbles, and are working on more. We think this mix will be a favorite in many families.

We're hoping to get at least six or eight recipes out for our new products in the coming weeks, so stay tuned. And if you try our new scone mixes and have recipe ideas, we'd love to hear them!

The new products will be rolling out to stores in the next month or so, and are available now online or at our Saturday farmers' markets.
