Fancified Costco Scone-Cakes

This is the first time I’ve taken Fancified Costco to the blog, and it’s for darn good reason. (PS. Fancified Costco is my series I have going on my instagram (@mydailydelish). I take Costco products and show you how to turn them into something new and fabulous!)This pastry is a hybrid of a scone and a shortcake, hence the name. Eden and I bought a big ol’ bag of the Krusteaz brand pancake mix at Costco, and with a few extra ingredients turned it into these cuties! We made some homemade whipped cream and picked some blackberries from across the street, and a heavenly trio was born. This recipe was found on the Krusteaz website.

These scone-cakes are super fluffy, perfectly sweet, and have the right amount of crumble to them. If you want to make a yummy dessert (or breakfast!), try these out. Especially if you aren’t a baker and would like an easy-button option like me. Enjoy!

SCONE-CAKES

Yields a dozen scone cakes

INGREDIENTS:

3 cups Krusteaz pancake mix

1/2 cup white sugar

1/2 cup flour

1 stick butter, chilled and grated

3/4 cup heavy cream

1 egg

DIRECTIONS:

1.) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

2.) Add pancake mix, sugar and flour to a mixing bowl and mix until combined.

3.) Add in cooled and grated butter. Mix until the butter is crumbly. Add in heavy cream and an egg, and mix until a dough forms.

4.) Lay out the dough on a floured surface. Roll until the dough is 3/4” thick. Slice into triangles, or use a biscuit cutter to form circles.

Bake in the oven for 14 minutes until slightly golden on top and cooked through.

Homemade whipped cream is so easy! Whip together a cup of heavy cream, a tablespoon of white sugar, and a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whip until soft peaks form.

For the fruit, add your berries and/or fruit of choice to a bowl and sprinkle with a teaspoon of white sugar. Add a splash of fresh lemon juice and stir. Allow the fruit to hang out in the fridge for an hour or more.
