I enjoy cooking from scratch and I have chronicled many of my kitchen adventures making cultured butter, pasta, ricotta cheese, and ice cream. However, there are times when the convenience and ease of “semi-homemade” cooking results in something just as good, or even better. Cooking from scratch tends to take longer and I don’t always have the time or the energy, especially after my long commute. Also, once in a while, I get lucky and discover the perfect pre-packaged mix that is both delicious and easy to make. Such is the case with King Arthur Flour Company’s pre-packaged scone mixes. They come in a huge variety of flavors and convenient to make. The mixes are a bit pricey at $7 each, but King Arthur Flour often offers discounts.
