It's the weekend again. YAY!!! And here I sit wondering what to bake....uummm!!!
Some type of scone, of course. Let's see sweet or savory. Scones do not have to be sweet. They can also be savory. Cheeses. Herbs. Uh Uh. Herb de Provence. I am going to have to try that. Meanwhile, I did make just some basic scones this week.
Basic Scones.
2 cups AP flour
1 T baking powder
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 t salt
3 T butter
1 egg, beaten
3/4 cup milk, approx.
Mix the dry. Cut in the butter until mixture resembles course crumbs. Stir in the egg. (This would be a good time to add additional ingredients - nuts, berries, chips, etc.). Gradually add milk until a thick dough is formed. Roll out the dough to 3/4 " thickness and cut into rounds or wedges. Bake 450 degrees for 10 - 15 minutes until golden brown. 12 - 16 scones.
For variations, add:
3/4 cup nuts, 1/2 cup raisins, cranberries, or other dried fruit, 1/2 cup choco chips, 2 T pumpkin pie spice.
Enjoy!!
