You'll want to stash a few of these homemade morsels in the freezer to serve to visitors who drop in unexpectedly. Just pop a frozen scone in the microwave for 20 seconds or so, and you have a warm treat, suggests Joan Francis of Spring Lake, New Jersey. Ingredients:
4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
6 tablespoons sugar |
4-1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons cold butter |
2 eggs |
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons milk, divided |
1-1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt; cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In a bowl, whisk eggs and 3/4 cup milk; add to dry ingredients just until moistened. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; gently knead in the blueberries.
2. Divide the dough in half. Pat each portion into an 8-in. circle; cut each into eight wedges. Place on greased baking sheets. Brush with remaining milk. Bake at 375° for 15-20 minutes or until tops are golden brown. Serve warm. Yield: 16 scones.
