Introduction

A trip to the Puyallup Fair (The Western Washington Fair) isn't complete without this Northwest tradition! They sell like 80,000 of these a day, topped with a big glob of raspberry jam. They are good cold, but best when they are warm.

(And its pronounced "pew-ALLup").

These are NOT low in calories!! I had to make them for my sons schools Mothers Day Tea (of course I sampled one while there) so I needed to calculate out the recipe. They are super delicous though, eat lots of veggies the rest of the day to make up for it! LOL

    Incredible!
    It was great to come across your Puyallup Fair scone recipe.
    These are grrrrreat and .so is the Fair.
    Only problem I found was the number of people your recipe serves.
    In my estimation it would only serve 2. ;-)

    Very Good
    One of the highlights of going to a fair is getting fresh warm Fisher scones. Thanks for a recipe I can make at home from scratch. Besides eating them warm with raspberry jam, I also like to use them for strawberry shortcake (Split a scone, add loads of mashed strawberries and whipped cream....)

    OMG thank you SO much for posting this - These and "Earthquake burgers" were the staple for me growing up when we would "do the Puyallup" - definitely one of my all time favorite comfort foods. I wonder if I did a half and half mixture of wheat/white flour if they would turn out ok? - 3/31/10

    I love that you entered this... Someone just brought me a scone fresh from Puyallup and I'm trying to determine if I have enough calories left in my day to eat it! I can't believe that I usually will eat at least two of these when I got to the fair!! - 9/21/09
