Meet the Cook: I've found you don't need to put butter on these scones...they're delicious plain and simple. I especially enjoy them in the wintertime with hot coffee or tea. Married for 44 years, we have two grown children and five grandchildren. -Helen Carpenter, Albuquerque, New Mexico Ingredients:
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon sugar |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3 tablespoons butter |
1/2 cup diced dried fruit (apricots, apples or plums) |
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel |
3/4 cup buttermilk |
1 tablespoon milk |
additional sugar |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking sods and salt. Cut in butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Add fruit and orange peel. Stir in buttermilk until a soft dough forms.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead gently for 2-3 minutes. Shape into a ball. Roll into a 7-in. circle. Cut into 10 wedges; place on a greased baking sheet. Brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 425° for 12-15 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm. Yield: 10 scones.
