Aunt Lynn's Scones
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup chopped dried fruit (currants, raisins, cranberries or your choice)
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar with a fork. Add the dried fruit and mix well.

2. Add the cream and stir: It will be quite sticky. Turn the mixture onto a lightly floured board and knead 8 or 9 times. Add a little flour if it's too sticky. Shape the dough into an 8-10 inch flat round.

3. Melt 3 Tablespoons of butter. Pour the butter over the round of dough and make sure the sides are covered as well. (Mush it around with your fingers!)

4. Sprinkle the top with 2 Tablespoons of sugar.

5. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough like a pie into 12 wedges and place the wedges onto a lightly-greased cookie sheet.

6. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, until golden brown

Not like any scone recipe I've ever made. Softened butter worked into the flour to form breadcrumbs, milk not cream, work the dough lightly, don't over work it or they won't rise then roll out your dough lightly to about a 1.5 - 2 cm thick and then using a cookie cutter cut out as many rounds as your dough will allow. I've never ever seen a wedge shaped scone it has to be said.

If I was at home I'd post my Ma's recipe.

Good morning friends

Putting on a fresh pot of coffee and

for everyone...and setting out the apricot scones (they turned out fabulous...thanks for the recipe darkcrystal...I LOVE it).

I feel like baking cinnamon rolls this morning...the good yeasty kind loaded with brown sugar, melted butter, cinnamon and chopped pecans. Mmmmm...

This is gonna be a yardwork weekend for me I think...the yard needs mowing, the weeds need pulling, and the climbing roses at the front of the house grew so big with all the rain that they pulled the trellis over...think a little pruning is in order

Our fireworks are tonight...the little village we live in has a nice little display, we walk down to the park about 5 blocks from the house, sit on a blanket on the grass with the other 1,000 or so folks who live here, have a soft ice-cream cone with sprinkles, and watch the fireworks that they set off over the playing fields. Definitely "small town" but lots of fun.

Hope you're all having a nice leisurely Saturday morning

baby...miss you already

I read the recipe and thought hmmmm...I have dried apricots I've been ignoring.

Of course, the bad news is th!!at I've now eaten 3. Your aunt is a genius!

Okay....I realized that I ate so many apricot scones that I forgot to make dinner.

Leftover beef stew anyone????

lipstixgal · 07-03-2010, 05:03 AM

Good Morning all

What should we have for breakfast?? Well strong coffee and tea is on first of all. How about eggs cooked to order with some cheddar and gouda cheeses mixed in, hash browns, bacon, sausage (morningstar of course) and all the fixings for bagels, croissants etc. Have a great day!! sleep if you need to that's where I headed back to bed....
