If I would have known making these was so simple, I would have made them a long time ago.
We live in the Wenatchee Valley which is famous for its endless supply of fresh fruit. I had 2 pounds of blueberries sitting in my fridge crying to be made into something and that something was some wonderfully warm flaky lazy saturday morning scones.
Directions:
1. In a large mixing bowl add 2 1/4 c. flour (I used Pam's Gluten Free Baking Mix, the best stuff ever for the gluten free lifestyle), 1 tsp baking powder, 1/3c. sugar.
2. Cut in 4 Tbsp butter with a pastry knife until nice and crumbly.
3. Add 1 large egg (beaten)
4. Add 2/3 c. milk
5. GENTLY FOLD in fresh fruit. Fresh fruit won't make your batter turn colors but if you don't mind Willy Wonka-esque scones use the canned of thawed fruit. The possibilities are as limited as your cabinets. Throw in some lemon juice, nuts (I used some walnuts), chocolate chips, cinnamon, raisins, whatever you got!
6. Bake for 15-17 mnutes at 375F. The batter will be thick but the scones will spread a little bit.
Cut up some fresh fruit, pour a glass of OJ/tea/coffee, grab the newspaper or pull up craftster on your computer and nosh away. A little butter melting in the middle is also quite yummy, and I bet some orange marmalade would kick booty as well.
Come and get it y'all!
