HEART SHAPED CHERRY SCONES
Serving Size: 1
Category: Scones
Ingredients:
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 cup dried sour cherries
1 cup warm water
1 cup flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup chilled butter -- cut in bits
1 large egg yolk
3/4 cup buttermilk
Preparation:
Soak cherries in warm water. Let stand until softened, 1 hour. Drain and discard
liquid. Preheat oven to 375 F. In a medium bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, wheat
flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. Using a pastry blender
cut butter into flour mixture until coarse crumbs form. Mix together egg yolk and
buttermilk. Make a well in the center of flour mixture. Add egg mixture and cherries all
at once to well, tossing with a fork until a soft dough forms. On a floured surface,
knead dough 10 times. Using a floured rolling pin, roll dough to a 1 in. thickness.
Using a floured 3 in. heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out scones. Gather trimmings,
roll dough to a 1 in. thickness, and cut out more scones. Place scones, 1 in. apart, on
an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until golden, 18 to 20 min. Transfer to a wire rack
to cool. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
NOTES : With a tempting blend of sweet and sour, these Valentine scones reflect the
true nature of romance. Make these scones in a variety of shapes. Serve with honey,
sweet butter, or jam. Makes 8 scones.
