After a trip to England, I was determined to learn how to make scones. This recipe is a combination of several from my search. I often get together with my fellow travelers to enjoy a traditional English tea, and these scones are the highlight of that event. Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup sugar |
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3 tablespoons cold butter |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream |
1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
3/4 cup chopped dried apricots |
3/4 cup chopped walnuts, toasted |
1/2 cup vanilla or white chips |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine the egg, cream and vanilla; stir into the crumb mixture until a soft dough forms. Add the apricots, nuts and chips.
2. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 6-8 times. Shape into a 6-in. circle; cut into six wedges. Place on a greased baking sheet. Bake at 375° for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a wire rack. Yield: 6 scones.
