Now For Something Useful

I was cruising through some of my old documents on Helmet's computer and I came across Jen's scone recipe.....so easy even I can do it.....I'm thinking of maybe posting a new recipe every week....maybe not....look for a new recipe next week...maybe

READ THE WHOLE RECIPE BEFORE YOU START……PRESET YOUR OVEN TO 425
Scones
In a bowl mix together:
2 cups flour
¼ cup sugar
4 tsp Baking POWDER
½ tsp Salt
6 TBSP Butter

Do this by hand….crumbling it between your fingers until it is crumby…sandy…course…no big chunks of butter. Then make an indent….or well in the middle of the mix

Mix together with a whisk or fork:
2/3 cup Milk
1 Egg

Pour this into the dry mixture
Using your fingertips…combine the mixture until it is moist…..but it wont come together in a ball…it will be kinda sloppy and maybe have a few dry spots still.
Pick up bunches of the dough and place on cookie sheet that is lined or sprayed. Don’t compact the ball too much…leave it kinda loose….should do about 6 scones….brush each scone with a tiny bit of milk(you can use your finger) and then sprinkle each with a little sugar.
Bake in a 425 degree oven for 10-15 min…….the bottom will be golden ….the tops will just start to slightly brown…..you can lift a piece of the top to make sure it is cooked inside.
If you are using chocolate chips or dried fruit…you can add it to the dry mixture before adding the egg/milk
If you are using fresh or frozen fruit….just push them into the already formed scones
Enjoy

Thanks Jen!!
