When Life Gives you Lemons...

Make things from them and sell them for a PROFIT!  This idea has been brewing in the baking-inclined minds that frequent the 927 Grace household, and while not yet fully steeped, it is filling out nicely.  With access to somewhat unlimited local, organic lemons, baking know how and the kind of gumption only young urban gardeners like us possess, we hope to soon be offering products like mason-jarred baking mixes and lemon curd to our devoted readers and families (as I mentioned, for a profit?  Pretty please?).  We're also considering gluten-free and vegan product lines!

Along with the lemon curd, we're trying a scone recipe that um, smells fantastic and they're not yet out of the oven.  Two minutes have now elapsed, and scones are out!



Reviews:
Barbara - Likes it, not too dense, crunchy outside and easy inside!
Sara - Likes it, but tacky on the inside!  Flavour excellent.
Tyler - Thinks he'd like it if he hadn't lost his sense of taste to too-hot coffee.  He's still taking a second helping, so I suppose that's a vote in favour of the texture?
Me - Agrees with Sara.  (I wonder if the yogurt had something to do with the tackiness.)

Love to all!
P.S.  Our ears are open to product suggestions...leave a comment!

    Three things -

    1. Trade delicious lemony products for wool???

    2. Product suggestion - preserved lemons (yum!)

    3. My standard scone recipe calls for yogurt and I've never experienced any tackiness with it, unless the yogurt was too liquidy. Since I can rarely find or afford to buy Greek-style yogurt in my locale, I drain our typical watery American style yogurt in cheesecloth before baking with it.
