Mini Maple Strawberry Chocolate Chip Scones

I ended up making these for Sunday morning brunch at my mom's on Mother's Day.  They were quick and easy to make, but the night I made them was a disaster.  I was finishing up my second batch of scones, so I had my husband put the kids in the tub, thinking I would be giving them a bath in a few minutes.  Wrong!  I went to get a glass of water from the fridge dispenser when I heard a noise and then looked down to the pool of water that was coming out from under the fridge.  Not good.

Churro Recipes 2013

Looking for some inspiration for Cinco de Mayo sweets?  Here are a few ideas.

Maple Strawberry Banana Muffins

I kept promising my husband I would make him some banana muffins.  My first attempt was a total recipe fail.  The muffins tasted good, but were heavy like bricks.  Then my husband suggested I make strawberry banana muffins (he wanted to make sure he got credit for that idea), so I researched some recipes I could adapt.  I knew I wanted to add some maple and cinnamon flavor in there.  Hubby was quite pleased with the results.

Churro Puff Pastry

I am still looking for Spring.  We saw it peek it's head out a week or so ago, but not it has disappeared again.  Today was windy and chilly.  The skies were cloudy all day.  All I want it some warm weather so we can spend some time outside for a change.  I hate being trapped in the house.  But I supposed the only good thing to come out of this, is more baking for me.  Last week I made six jars of dulce de leche.  I had some recipe testing to do.  The first two recipes didn't go so well, but this one came out just right.
