these sounded good to me... I love the fact that they have 3 different fruits and an orange glaze... the recipe is from Choose Cherries Recipes Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup whole wheat flour |
1/3 cup sugar |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
5 tablespoons chilled butter, cut into tiny pieces |
1/3 cup dried tart cherries, chopped |
1/3 cup dried cranberries, chopped |
1/4 cup dried wild blueberries |
1 egg, beaten |
1/2 cup buttermilk |
2 teaspoons finely shredded orange peel |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 to 3 teaspoons unbleached, all-purpose flour |
1 egg white, beaten |
glaze |
1/2 cup powdered sugar |
1 tablespoon orange juice concentrate diluted with 1/2 teaspoon water |
1/2 teaspoon orange extract |
1/4 to 1 teaspoon water |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl, stir together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose and the whole wheat flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture is the consistency of course cornmeal. Stir in cherries, cranberries, and blueberries. Set aside.
3. In a small bowl, stir together egg, buttermilk, orange peel, and vanilla. Make a well in center of flour mixture and pour in buttermilk mixture. Using a fork, stir just until flour mixture is moistened. (Do not over mix.)
4. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead 10 to 12 times with floured hands. Place dough on sprayed baking sheet. Sprinkle with as much of the 2 to 3 teaspoons of flour as necessary, and pat into a 9 round. Cut through to form 8 wedges, but leave in a circle.
5. Brush the beaten egg white over the tops of the wedges with a pastry brush. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from oven and re-cut wedges. Cool scones on baking sheet for 5 minutes. Remove scones from baking sheet and cool on wire rack.
6. Glaze:
7. In a small bowl, stir together powdered sugar, orange juice-water mixture, and orange extract. Stir in enough or the water to make of desired drizzling consistency.
8. Drizzle glaze over cooled scones.
