CHRISTMAS SCONES
Serving Size: 8
Category: Scones
Ingredients:
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon sugar
1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons Baking powder
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup Butter or margarine -- 1 stick
1/2 cup Dried cranberries or raisins -- chopped
1/4 cup Sour cream
1/4 cup Orange juice
2 teaspoons Grated orange peel
Preparation:
These scones are star-shaped and make a wonderful addition to a Christmas brunch.
About 30 minutes before serving or early in day: Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Grease large cookie sheet. In cup, with fork, mix cinnamon and 1 tablespoon sugar;
set aside. In medium bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, and 1/4 cup sugar. With
pastry blender or two knives used scissor-fashion, cut in margarine or butter until
mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in dried cranberries, sour cream, orange juice,
and orange peel just until ingredients are blended. Turn dough onto lightly floured
surface; with floured rolling pin, lightly roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut out scones
with 3-inch star-shape cookie cutter. With pancake turner, place scones 2 inches
apart on cookie sheet. Press trimmings together; roll and cut as above. Sprinkle
scones with cinnamon mixture. Bake scones 10 to 12 minutes until golden. Serve
scones warm. Or cool scones on wire rack; wrap in single layer with foil. Just before
serving, reheat if desired. Makes about 8 scones.
