Peanut Butter and Jelly Scones

I grew up in a family where there was no greater comfort food than Peanut butter and Jelly sandwiches. To this day, if someone were to ask me what food I most associate with my father, it would be a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Scones

I dug this recipe out, because I can’t think of a time when I would more like to comfort my father than today.

Grammy
(this was Grammy last year on her 91st birthday)

We lost my Grammy, my father’s mother, Eleanor Jewett, at the age of 92 yesterday. She left us peacefully and surrounded by her family in tremendous love.

I will have to take some time to absorb her parting and all of the many beautiful ways that she affected our lives, and every person she met. I will have to take time to reflect, and properly pay her a tribute.

But right now, I am just thinking about comfort and family. And in my own silly little way, I have taken to the kitchen today to bake, because lots of times it feels like the only thing I know how to do.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Scones

These Peanut Butter and Jelly Scones will not change anything, but I don’t need them too. They only represent a gesture of love from a child to their parent (no matter how old we are). And I am realizing, in following my own fathers loving and generous example with his mother- that we can never have too many of these.

To make these delicious Peanut Butter and Jelly Scones, (who’s cookie appearance only make them more appealing at breakfast time) you simply combine all of the dry ingredients in the food processor:

Peanut Butter and Jelly Scones

Add the butter in little pieces and pulse until you have a coarse crumb.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Scones

In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, cream and egg.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Scones

Throw that in the food processor too.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Scones

Peanut Butter and Jelly Scones

Roll it out 1/2” thick on a lightly floured surface.
