SWEET SCONES

Cranberry Scones

 

Recipe:

2 cups flour

1/2 cup sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 stick butter

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 egg

1/2 to 1 cup dried cranberries

 

Mix dry ingredients, cut in butter.  Mix cream and egg and blend into flour mixture.  Toss in the cranberries and lightly mix.  Turn onto floured cutting board and make a circle about 1/2 inch thick.  Cut into eight pie shape pieces.  Place on lightly greased baking sheet and coat tops with a little cream.   Bake at 425 until done. 

 

Mix up a little powdered sugar and cream to make a little topping and spread on cooked scones. 

 

This recipe is good with any kind of fruits, chips, cinnamon or whatever you like.  If you really want sweeter scones just add a little more sugar to the recipe.  You can substitute milk for cream and margarine for butter but they definitely will not be as good. 

 

I doubled the recipe and they didn't last long.
