I've made these tender heart-shaped scones many times for my family and for special occasions, writes Debbie Graham from Creston, British Columbia. They are especially pretty when split and filled with colorful jam. Ingredients:
4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2/3 cup cold butter, cubed |
1-1/2 cups buttermilk |
red colored sugar, optional |
cherry, raspberry or strawberry jam |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients; cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in buttermilk just until moistened. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 10-12 times. Roll to 2/3-in. thickness; cut with a 3-1/2-in. heart-shaped cookie cutter. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Sprinkle with sugar if desired. Bake at 425° for 15-18 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire rack. Split scones in half. Spread bottom halves with jam; replace the tops. Serve warm. Yield: 10 scones.
