I loved this book! If I could judge a book by its cover, this was totally right on for me. The apple and all the tiny lights, magical. It's a beautiful story of a family of women who all have something very unique about them. This story is fun and captivating. The characters are rich. I love Sarah Addison Allen's characters. (I just finished another one of her books). She weaves beautiful stories. Very talented. I am quite sure I will read all of her books. Here is a link to a blog post that someone wrote about her with a little interview.
1/2 cup butter, cold, cut into pieces
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
3 teaspoons matcha powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sugar
zest of one lime
Lime Glaze:
juice of one or two limes
1 to 2 cups confectioners sugar
lime zest for garnish
Blend together the dry ingredients, including the lime zest. I like to use my processor for this but its no necessary. You can use a bowl and a pastry blender or a fork. Blend in the cold butter until it turns the flour kind of mealy. In a separate bowl stir together the wet ingredients. Stir the wet into the dry just until combined. Spoon into a scone maker or even ramekins. You can also pat into a round and cut into 8 pieces. Bake at 350° for about 20 to 30 minutes.

Mmm the scone sounds delicious Lori! Have you ever tried it without the glaze?
Thank you for the book recommendation, I'll put it on my list, it looks like my kind of book.
Thank you Katie. These scones really needed that glaze. Scones are usually not too sweet but the matcha I think may have been bitter. It would be better without the extra sugar but on this one I could not skip it.
I went to the blog Quilted Living. I saw your beautiful quilt. I love everything about it. I could not comment but I wanted you to know that it was amazing to behold!
