HONEY CURRANT SCONES
Serving Size : 8
Category: Scones
Ingredients:
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
2 teaspoons Orange peel -- grated
1 teaspoon Baking powder
1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 cup Butter or margarine
1/2 cup Currants
1/2 cup Sour cream
1/3 cup Honey
1 Egg -- slightly beaten
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees; grease a baking sheet. Combine the flour, orange
peel, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the butter with a
pastry blender or 2 knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the
currants. Combine the sour cream, honey and egg in a medium bowl until well
blended. Stir into the flour mixture until a soft dough forms. Turn out the dough onto
a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough 10 times. Shape the dough into an
8-inch square; cut into 4 squares and cut each in half diagonally, making 8
triangles. Place the triangles 1 inch apart on the baking sheet. Bake for 15 to 20
minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out
clean. Remove from the baking sheet. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Serve
warm or cool completely.
