The Scone Queen Bakes

A collection of one hundred easy and delicious recipes for scones, muffins, cookies, and more—including the top secret recipe for the famous scones that earned her the title the “Scone Queen”— from baker extraordinaire and founder of The Hungry Gnome, Danielle Sepsy “Danielle understands better than most the extraordinary things that can happen with just the right combination of flour, sugar, and butter. Her mastery of baking is a thing of beauty, and tasting her magical creations has proven to be one of the great pleasures I’ve experienced in the last few years. It’s incredibly exciting that so many will get to learn from her through this book.” —Will Guidara, Restaurateur and Author of Unreasonable Hospitality When Danielle Sepsy started baking scones for friends, she had no idea that one day she would have her own successful whole-sale and online bakery, The Hungry Gnome—or that her scones would be sold in hundreds of coffee shops all over the tristate area and celebrated on a hit television show. Here, in her long-awaited first cookbook, The Scone Queen Bakes, Sepsy gives us over 100 delightful recipes for scones, muffins, cookies, bars, breads, snacking cakes and other sweet treats, such as: *Twelve different kinds of Sepsy’s famous scones (a scone for every month of the year!), including Funfetti Scones and THE Chocolate Chip Scone (the one that started it all) *Muffins, such as Blueberry Crumb, Double Chocolate, Pumpkin Spice, Raspberry Ricotta and more *Cookies! Soft & Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies, One Toff Cookies, Vegan Cookie Butter Chip Cookies, Strawberries & Cream Cookies, Italian Rainbow Cookies, and more *Three kinds of brownies, Lemon Icebox Bars, S’Mores Blondies, and more *Chocolate Date Tahini Buns, Cinnamon Raisin Bread, and French Toast Monkey Bread *Breads and Cakes such as Banana Nutella Snacking Cake, Cookie Butter Swirled Pumpkin Bread, and a Spumoni Loaf, to name just a few “I didn’t even think I liked scones until I ate one of Danielle’s; warm from the oven and studded with molten chocolate chips. Her pastries surprised me over and over again, from the fluffy cinnamon rolls to the perfect pucker of her lemon muffins. Thanks to her cookbook, now I can re-create all her goodies in my own kitchen (when I’m not ordering a big batch from her shop, The Hungry Gnome).” —Sohla El-Waylly, author of Start Here
