Baking with less waste - silicone baking mats

Target's version of a silicone baking mat - cheaper than a silpat by about $15 bucks

I have been wanting to make some scones, but I have been out of parchment paper. Yesterday, when I visited Sweet Basil, the cooking store, I saw their "silpat" silicone mats, which can be used in lieu of parchment paper. They are a little pricey, but today I saw a generic version online at Target (the fancy french store) and they sell for less than $10.

I'll be going to Target soon to get one. And then I'll make the apricot scones I posted recently and show you a picture of the finished product.

Mmmm yummies!
