Looking for mini sweet bread recipe

Hi, I am new to this site and I am looking for a special type of recipe. A restaurant here called Jakers serves a bread with their meal and they call them scones. They are not like any scones I have ever seen or heard of. They are about the size of an egg and oval shape and very light. They do not have the flavor or texture of a biscuit. The texture is more like bread but has a slight sweet taste to it and they serve it with honey butter. Of course they will not share this wonderful recipe and I have spent hours on the Internet serching for some thing even close and no luck. If anybody out there has the slightest idea where I can find a recipe for them or even knows what I am talking about I would love to hear from you. They are to die for. Thanks

If they are made from a yeast dough why not use the recipe for butterhorns and make the dough a little more sweet and bake them in  any shape you like or is the oval shape that important. All I can say is experiment, experiment. The restaurant most likely gets a mix froma supllier and all they do is add water and bake so there would not even be a recipe.

And if they invented them they would not give them out. I suspect they are made from amix that comes from a bakery or restaurant whole sale supply company. Just like most  grocery store bakeries get everything in mixes.

I don't know where "here" is and also have never heard of Jakers, but then I live in the hinterland of sw  North Dakota, we don't even have a chain restaurant or chain fast food place in this two  horse twon so I can plead ignorance.

Sorry I could not help.

Welcome Pam. As far as the shape is concerned, I used to think that scones were always wedge shaped -- after watching the food network for a while, I have learned they can be shaped as the baker prefers -- wedge, square, round, oval,... The following is my favorite scone recipe. I have no idea if it is like that served by Jakers.

Rich Scones

2 cups flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar plus more for sprinkling on top
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup butter, cold (or solid margarine)
1 egg
2/3 cup milk plus more for brushing tops
1/2 cup chopped nuts, optional or some people like currants or raisins in their.
sometimes I add 1 tsp. vanilla, also

Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together. Cut in butter until crumbly.

Lightly beat egg in small bowl. Mix in milk. Pour into dry ingredients. Stir with fork to make a soft dough. Pat into 2 tinch rounds. Place on greased baking sheet

Brush tops with milk. Sprinkle with sugar. Score each top into 6 wedges. Bake in 425 degree F oven for 15 minutes until risen and golden brown. Split and butter. Yield: 12 scones.
