Serving Size: 1
Category: Scones
Ingredients:
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 cup chopped fresh or thawed -- frozen cranberries;
1/4 cup Plus 2 T sugar
2 cups Flour
2 teaspoons Baking powder
2 tablespoons Orange juice
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup Unsalted butter -- chilled
2 Eggs
1/2 teaspoon Grated orange peel
1/2 cup Chopped pecans
Preparation:
In small bowl, stir together the cranberries and the 2T sugar. Let stand about 5
minutes. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, remaining sugar, baking powder and
salt. Cut the butter into 1/2" cubes and distribute them over the flour. With a pastry
blender, cut in the butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. In a small bowl, stir
together the eggs, juice, vanilla and peel. Add to the flour mixture and stir to combine.
Dough will be sticky. With floured hands, knead in the berries and nuts Pat the dough
into a 9" diameter circle on a lightly greased baking sheet. If desired brush the top
and sides with a mixture of 1 egg white and 1/2 t water. This will give the scones a
shine. With a serrated knife, cut the dough into 8 wedges. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes
in a preheated 400 degree oven. Check for doneness with a cake tester or toothpick
inserted into the center of a scone.
