Brown Butter Rye Scones

I’m still working on that start of the year goal of using up all the mostly-used ingredients in my pantry. I went through a rye phase a few months ago, but stopped before I used up all the rye flour in my pantry. So a cup of flour was still sitting in its own bag….

Peanut Butter Maple Brownies
