A quick basic scone recipe with traditional holiday ingredients ... great treat for Christmas morning! Serve warm with butter and tea! Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 cup butter, chilled and diced |
1 cup fresh cranberries, roughly chopped |
1/3 cup white sugar |
1 grated zest of one orange |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
3/4 cup half-and-half cream |
1 egg |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. In a large bowl, stir together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, nutmeg and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. In a separate bowl, toss cranberries with sugar; add to flour mixture along with orange peel and nuts. Mix lightly.
4. In another bowl, beat together cream and egg; slowly pour into dry ingredients, mixing with rubber scraper until dough forms. Knead dough 4 or 5 times, being careful not to over handle. Divide dough in half. Turn out onto lightly floured surface. Shape each half into a 6 inch circle. Cut each circle into 6 wedges. Place scones on lightly greased baking sheets.
5. Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
