These orange-pecan scones are a company-worthy brunch treat that cook up soft and moist. If you don't like pecans, sub another nut or leave them out! Ingredients:
2 cups self-rising flour |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 teaspoons grated orange rind |
1/3 cup butter or margarine |
1/2 cup buttermilk |
1/4 cup fresh orange juice |
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
sugar |
Directions:
1. Combine first 3 ingredients. Cut butter into flour mixture with a pastry blender until crumbly; add buttermilk and next 3 ingredients, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
2. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead 3 or 4 times.
3. Divide dough in half; pat each portion into a 7-inch circle, and place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Cut each circle into 8 wedges; sprinkle evenly with sugar.
4. Bake at 425° for 12 to 14 minutes or until golden brown.
5. Note: Freeze scones up to 1 month. Thaw in refrigerator 8 hours. Bake scones at 350º for 10 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
