Oh yum. I think I'm making Strawbe...Hi Ashley,<br /><br />Oh yum. I think I'm making Strawberry Scones this weekend.<br /><br />I will share my scone recipe with you. I also always use my Cuisinart, which is 34 years old and still works a treat. These are the cookie-cutter kind, but I like your wedges better I think. I copied this from my recipe files, and the last paragraph is true -- and maybe you can guess whose baby shower these were created for!<br /><br />Cindy's Scones<br /><br />Recipe By: Cindy Greene<br />Serving Size: 12<br />Preparation Time: 0:00<br />Categories: Breakfast Breads <br /><br />Amount Measure Ingredient Preparation Method<br />2 cups flour <br />2 tablespoons sugar <br />1 tablespoon baking powder <br />1/4 cup dried fruit <br />6 tablespoons butter <br />1 egg <br />1/2 cup milk <br /><br />Preheat oven to 425 F. Assemble ingredients.<br /><br />Food processor instructions: Add dry ingredients to processor bowl (including dried fruit). Add butter cut into several pieces, and process with steel blade until mealy in texture. Add egg and milk and process just until the mixture holds together. Knead on lightly floured board, and roll 3/4" thick. Cut out in hearts or circles and bake on ungreased pan at 425 for 8-10 minutes. Brush with egg or milk before baking if desired. If making more than one batch, there's no need to wash the bowl and blade between batches.<br /><br />By-hand instructions. Blend dry ingredients in large bowl. Add butter and mix in with pastry cutter or fork or two butter knives, until mealy. Add egg and milk until the mixture holds together. Continue as above.<br /><br />Dried fruit: I like dried cranberries, may use raisins, dates, cherries, blueberries or other dried fruit, or mini chocolate chips, etc.<br /><br />You may also add 1/4 cup finely chopped almonds or pecans.<br /><br />Best served with lemon butter and devonshire or whipped cream, or a good jam.<br /><br />To prepare ahead: bake and double-wrap in heavy plastic wrap or zip bags and freeze up to 1 month. Heat to serve.<br /><br />I created this recipe for a friend's baby shower tea, and have shared it with many over the years. I like to make heart-shaped scones for Valentine's Day or a lady's tea.Cindy Greenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13751164449236931939noreply@blogger.com
