CRANBERRY ORANGE SCONES
Recipe By : BH&G Holiday Cooking, 1994
Serving Size : 12
Category: Scones
Ingredients:
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
1/4 cup Granulated sugar
2 teaspoons Baking powder
1 teaspoon Orange peel -- finely shredded
1/4 cup Butter or margarine
2/3 cup Cranberries -- coarsely chopped
1/3 cup Chopped nuts -- pecans or walnuts
1 Egg -- beaten
1/3 cup Orange yogurt
1 Egg white -- slightly beaten
2 tablespoons Chopped nuts -- pecans or walnuts
Powdered sugar
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees; grease a baking sheet. Stir together the flour, sugar,
baking powder and orange peel in a large mixing bowl. Using a pastry blender, cut in
the margarine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the cranberries and
1/3 cup nuts; toss until mixed. Make a well in the center of the dry mixture. Stir
together the egg and yogurt; add all at once to the dry mixture. Using a fork, stir just
until moistened. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Quickly knead the
dough by gently folding and pressing the dough for 6 to 8 strokes, or until the dough
is nearly smooth. Divide the dough in half. Pat or lightly roll one portion of the dough
into a 4-inch circle on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dough. Using a
sharp knife, cut each circle into 6 wedges. Do not separate the wedges. Brush the
tops of the scones with the beaten egg white; sprinkle with 2 tablespoon chopped
nuts. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until done. Remove from the baking sheet. Cool
on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Sift powdered sugar over the tops. Break the scone
circles apart into wedges and serve warm.
