Today the rest of the BSM crew is making Chinese Five Spice Scones for Chinese New Year. I actually bought the five-spice powder and sesame seeds last week, but just wasn’t feeling it. Five-spice powder is no joke: cinnamon, cloves, fennel, star anise and pepper. It’s STRONG. I’m not the biggest fan of cloves, and I really don’t like anise, so I just knew that I wasn’t going to like them.
Instead, I made the FIRST EVER Baked Sunday Morning recipe: Nutella Scones! The gang made these back in November 2010, before I found them. They’re a thick, hearty scone, full of toasted hazelnuts, with a thin layer of Nutella inside and a thick drizzle on the top. The scone itself isn’t too sweet, so everything works well together.
You can find the recipe here!

February 1, 2016 4:03 pmI must make them! They precede my BSM days too, and will have to make up for lost scones.
Yours look absolutely scrumptious!

Btw, I am not a fan of anise either, and I have to say that the 5-spice scones still manage to work really well. The flavors blend together, and I couldn’t taste any particular spice too strongly. But yes, I’ll take Nutella over 5-spice powder any day! 🙂
