Things You'll Need:
- Scone pan Scone mix (or your own recipe) Cornbread mix (or your own recipe) Biscuit mix (or your own recipe) Sweet bread, cake or brownie mixes (or your own recipe) Creme Brulee recipe Potting soil Herbs, miniature cactus or other small plants

Step 1
Whip up a batch of perfect scones. The cast aluminum surface is meant to ensure even heating so your scones bake up just right, and if you wish, you may even cook your scones the old fashioned way, on top of your stove. This pan is equally at home on a stove top or inside an oven.
-
Step 2
Make individual cornbread triangles. Cornbread cooks up well in this pan, and slides out in one piece, which saves you from having to cut up a pan of the crumbly stuff.
-
Step 3
Bake up your favorite baking-powder biscuits. The biscuits come out on the large side (and, of course, triangle-shaped), but they bake up very nicely in this heavy pan, and you will not have to go through the trouble of shaping and cutting them out.
-
Step 4
Try making mini sweet breads or cakes in the scone pan. Create little wedge-shaped slices of orange or lemon poppyseed cake, cranberry-walnut loaf or even pound cake or brownies.
-
Step 5
Slide the pan under the broiler (it is broiler-safe) to caramelize the sugar on top of a creme brulee. Mini brulees are very trendy, and the triangle shape will make them look unique.
-
Step 6
Use an old, worn-out pan as a planter. You can fill the compartments with a little potting soil, then fill each one with a different small plant such as a type of herb or a miniature cactus. If drainage is a concern with the type of plants you've chosen, you may wish to drill a few small holes in the sides and/or bottom of the pan and place it in a dish.
