Love this recipe...tagged for the Healthy Choices game and I have made it a least a half dozen times since I found it...We juice a lot in this house...lots of pulp that I am constantly looking for ways to re-new...re-cycle in some creative way...this is hands down the best recipe find yet & I have played with a lot of things over the past couple of years ...I have stuck to the recipe as written by mliss29 and adored the results then began to re-interpreted it with all types of berries, (fresh and dried), nuts and sunflower seeds (pretty much by whim and what was at hand )...sometimes adding cinnamon so that the house smells of "cookies" baking all day as they dry...most recently I leave some of the pulp from beet,ginger, & apple that I juice run into the carrot mix...the beet especially makes VERY interesting colored scones {{lol}}...for extra kicks I added blueberries to those = FUN!! They always work fabulously (trick is to keep tasting the batter as you make them 'till they are "just right" {lol}...these are a huge hit with people who do not even know they are eating ... (which is my juice pulp that usually serves as soup stock, or even compost!!!)- I have not yet tried to mix the pulp from my cabbage, kale or beet greens in but I know I will)...I don't know if my interpretation is what is intended because I make them by the half batches and get about two dozen...I like them the size of scones like my Mom's Mom (we called her Nanny/Nell) used to make...scones have ALWAYS been my favorite treat...I grew up on them - they remind me of childhood and Irish faerie tales & LOVE this live food version...Thanks for sharing!!
