Tasty, not dry scones, fast to make, but a bit messy. You could replace the cranberries and chocolate chips with about anything else that you can think of, but this is my favorite combo. Ingredients:
3 cups flour |
1/3 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup reduced fat margarine |
1 cup buttermilk |
3/4 cup fresh cranberries |
1/2 cup chocolate chips |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
2 tablespoons cream |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Mix flour, first sugar, baking soda and salt.
2. Stir in buttermilk and cut in reduced fat margarine.
3. Mix in cranberries, chocolate chips and first cinnamon.
4. Gather into a ball, press together and knead 12 times on floured board.
5. Divide in two pieces.
6. Grease a very large cookie sheet and push each piece into a large half inch thick circle on the cookie sheet, don't let them touch.
7. Cut each into 8 triangular pieces with a large kitchen knife, you will need to cut again after baking.
8. Mix cream, second sugar and cinnamon into a sort of paste, and paint over both circles of dough.
9. Bake about 20-25 minutes in a 400° preheated oven.
10. Let cool and cut again into 8 wedges each, following original cut marks.
