Ugh, I hate when recipes fail. [View all]

So yesterday I did our usual mother's day tea for hubby and me. Sandwiches were fine, desserts were fine, but the scones...oy vey! It was not my usual recipe, and it called for a lot baking powder. Normally, I would reduce the baking powder by at least a quarter (most recipes call for way too much, and it leaves a nasty lingering taste in the finished product), but because it was not my usual recipe, I went with it. Ugh, ick, yuk! 🤢 I ended up throwing them out, they were so inedible. I will try again today (my day off, so I have the time), reduce the baking powder and see if that helps.
