Block Island Scones




When researching Block Island I read about a mystical scone woman who sold her baked goods out and about. According to a post on Chowhound: "The "Scone lady's" real name is Pat Doyle. She and her husband Tom bought a used Blodgett oven years ago that they keep in their backyard. Each Wednesday and Saturday (the days of the BI Farmer's Market) they get up at 5 am and bake about 60 loaves of bread and 300 to 400 scones. They usually sell out by 10 am. I haven't actually tried them but I hear they are very good.".
I'm a scone addict. The bakery down the street from us makes different scones everyday, they are such a treat (and healthy i feel since they have fruit in them - forget the stick of butter).
Well, Pam and Tom now sell their scone mix online. You can get a package here that makes 12-18 scones. The mixes come in Plain, Raisin, Orange Pecan, Lemon Poppy, Apricot Ginger and Cranberry Walnut. So do i order or do i wait til i get to block island for one made by Pam? Decisions, decisions... Scone goodness available here.

These scones sound like a special, novelty treat.. my vote would be to wait until you're back in Block Island to try the real thing!
