It is July 31st, and I'm assuming I don't have to tell you it's both Harry Potter and J.K. Rowling's birthday, but if I did.. now you know. I knew I had to bake something Harry Potter themed to celebrate and I had the day off of work, so I opted for something a little time consuming. I adore butterscotch, and it is a criminally under-used flavor, so I decided to make some Butterbeer-inspired scones. And they are awesome. I made them with browned butter, which sounds exceedingly complicated but is actually quite easy. It is basically caramelized butter, so it added a lovely depth to the taste of these scones.
