| you could use this recipe but add cranberries and maybe some orange |
| flavoring |
| and some orange zest to it. |
| |
| |
| 4 cup | flour |
| 2 Tbsp | baking powder; rounded |
| 2 tsp | salt |
| 8 Tbsp | sugar |
| 14 Tbsp | crisco, butter flavor (2 tbsp short of a full stick!) |
| 1-1/3 cup | buttermilk |
| | additional buttermilk, if needed |
| | dried fruit |
| |
| sift together dry ingredients into a medium mixing bowl. cut in |
| crisco using a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. add |
| dried fruit and 2/3 cup milk, and stir just until all is moistened and |
| there are no dry crumbs on the bottom or sides of the bowl. add 1 - 2 |
| tbsp milk and stir until it all comes together in a mass. |
| dump out onto a lightly floured counter. knead 10 times. roll out |
| 3/4 inch and cut with 1 inch biscuit cutter. place on parchment lined |
| baking sheet and sprinkle with sugar if desired. heat oven to 450. let |
| rest 10 minutes while the oven is heating up. |
| let scones bake 10 -12 minutes or until tops are golden. |
| |
| for the dried fruit i usually use a combination of dried cranberries, |
| or craisins as they are called, and white raisins. i have used dried |
| blueberries with good success. |
