macrina bakery

During our girlfriends' trip to Seattle to see George Michael, we stumbled upon a gem of a bakery - Macrina Bakery and Cafe. Everything was gorgeous and yummy looking. I found the cookbook at Powell's last week and picked three up - one for me, Marfie, and Auntie B. I've started baking out of it right away.
These are the perfecto Cherry Almond Scones - though I made a hazelnut version instead of almond. These are super classic scones - not the Starbucks kind that are sort of soft and muffinish but truly English scone like. The kind you would like to have lemon curd and clotted cream with. We devoured them quite quickly. Next up . . . the rocket muffins.
