My fruit scones went wrong, what can I do with them now? Don't want to waste ...

[greenlawn]

... I followed my usual recipe but instead of my usual tasty fruit scones they came out dry and floury and crumbly.

Any ideas what I can do with them? They're not really inedible but just not that tasty. Just wondering if I could break them up and use them for something, it seems a shame to waste the ingredients.

make them into bread an butter pudding - saw a JO recipe using hot cross buns, marmalade and custard. I think that would work with your scones

put them on top of cooked fruit and make a sconey type crumble?

here you go

here you go

Crumble them up and mix them up with some soft fruit and whipped cream?

Found this:
Scone and marmalade butter pudding

Serves: 4
Prep: 15 min
Cook: 40 min

Ingredients
250ml Milk
250ml double cream
pinch Salt
1 vanilla pod
3 Eggs
125g Sugar
4 scones
30g unsalted Butter
10g sultanas, soaked in Grand Marnier
20g marmalade, melted

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4.

1. In a saucepan, bring the milk, cream, salt and vanilla pod to simmering point. Mix the eggs and sugar together in a bowl and pour over the milk and cream, then pass the mixture through a sieve.

1. Cut the scones into thin slices and butter them, then arrange in a buttered oven-proof dish. Sprinkle with the soaked raisins, pour over the milk mixture, cover and leave to soak for 10 minutes.

1. Put the oven-proof dish in a roasting tin half-filled with water and cook in the oven for 35-40 minutes.

1. Remove from the oven, brush with the melted marmalade and serve.

Mmmmm, thank you, suddenly my dry scones sound quite appetising!
