Renee, you nailed it!! They look so very similar to Arizmendi’s fabulous cornmeal scones with dried cherries. And the “crunch” was perfect. They will freeze beautifully, too. Thank you so much for this video. And thanks, too, to kategamgee who posted the actual recipe and informed me that there is a cookbook of Arizmendi recipies. I’m going to follow your directions and I’ll let you know how they come out. BTW: Did you use tart cherries? Thanks again! 💐
Yippeee!!! I’m so happy to hear back from you. To hear you say I nailed it made my day!! They are absolutely delicious, and I’m so glad you told me about them. I used tart cherries. And a big shout out to kategamgee for the info on the cookbook!!!
My mom used to make a filled cookie, with mincemeat from a jar, The cookie top and bottom was a delicious sugar cookie. The dough was not too thick no to thin. It would be great to have that recipe! She only made them at Christmas time, a very special treat.
My grandmother used to make the cookies you are talking about. I haven’t thought of them in years!! What a blast from the past. I am definitely going to make these!! Thank you so much for reminding me about them.
In the UK, these wouldn’t be scones… they look more like Rock Cakes, but we wouldn’t put cornmeal in the mixture. Absolutely agree with grating very cold butter though, that works well. We call that sort of coarse brown sugar Demerara sugar, by the way.
Renee, those cherry scones look amazing!! I’m not a huge fan of scones per se, but I would definitely consider making them using this recipe!! Great video!
Hi, Renee! I’m sitting here this evening, Wednesday, October 23, 2024, catching my breath as the scooped dough for these so-called cherry cornmeal “scones”. (yes, I realize they are not a traditional scone; but, it’s just how Arizmendi’s has always referred to them, so I do too!) The most difficult part for me was the butter. You have to realize that I am 75 years old and I have been dealing with arthritis pretty much all over my body at this point! To top that off, I currently have three trigger fingers on my hands and carpal tunnel in the thumb on my right hand. And yes, of course, I’m right handed!🤦🏻♀️ I used to love to bake, but because of all of these aging symptoms I’m dealing with, it’s sort of become a thing of the past. Other than the butter, however, these were a breeze to make, and I can’t wait to bite into one! My next endeavor is going to be to make the butter extract that you demonstrated in one of your videos. I even bought the vodka for it, and neither my husband, nor I drink! I guess I’m gonna have to find a lot of recipes that call for vodka! That one will definitely be a challenge for my hands, especially the squeezing of the liquid out of the butter. But, I’ll make sure to do that on a night. My husband is not playing cards and he can do the squeezing for me! After I get that extract made, I’m going to make the cookies that you made with the butter extract. They look so good! I cannot thank you enough, Renee, for putting these videos together. I look at these types of videos for cooking and baking all the time. And while everything looks wonderful and I’m sure I’m gonna do this and I’m sure I’m gonna do that, in most cases I don’t do anything. But you have really inspired me. You just have a way about you. It’s fun, you don’t do anything outrageous with any unusual types of ingredients where I have to go hunting them before I can actually do any preparation, and you are very clear with your instructions. As I said in my first message to you, your kitchen looks so lovely, warm, and inviting. I can just picture us sitting in that kitchen, having a “cuppa” and chatting about foods we love! I will be sure to let you know how the “scones” taste! 🙋🏻♀️🌸
Thank you so much for your kind words. Cooking and baking is such a joy in my life, and I realized while reading this, that you have experienced the same thing! I’m so impressed that, despite the pain you have in your hands, you continue to try new recipes!!!! Let me know how the scones turn out. PS…I’m having a “cuppa” as I write this!!
Watching from the USA. A friend used to make a sugar cookie type dough and filled it with a raisin filling. Literally a pocket filled with raisins. The cookies were about 4-5" in diameter. So good! Everyone raved over these cookies with their chewy raisin filling. I'd love it if you could make these. Please and thank you!
WOW!!!!!!!!!! You are AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! I would love a Vlasic Pickle Recipe and a warm (NOT HOT) hot sauce recipe. I know the hot sauce might be a huge issue, but I think hot sauce has gone crazy lately-something like the heat of a banana pepper. Crying is not what I want at my dinner table. Hugs from Texas

Thanks for the comments! I had to look up Rock Cake. What an interesting history they have. And they Do look just like Rock Cakes!!

Definitely making them. Love the bionic sound effect!

I remember a cookie like that. I think my grandmother made them. I’ll see if I can find the recipe. Thank you for the idea!!
@@kitchenintheshire whoo hoo, that would be great! Thanks for looking.

Thank you for the comments and the ideas!! I’ll put these on my list of things to make!!
It always amazes me that cooks refuse to use a larger bowl than they need. It always looks like the bowl they use is the only one they own.
😂. Love your observation!! I was thinking the entire time that I should have used a bigger bowl!! Laughed out loud at this one!!
❤😊
The scones look amazing!!!
They are! Hope you can make them. The recipe turned out to be fairly simple. They’ll freeze beautifully, too.
They were sooo good. Thank you for the comment!
