Linda's Fruit Scones

 

I just love making these scones! 

Easier to pull together than biscuits,
you can use blueberries, raisins, or diced dried apricots. 

 

 

 

Stir together 2 cups flour, 2 tablespoons sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Cut in 1/3 cup butter.

Stir in 1/2 cup fruit.

 

Stir in 3/4 cup milk til dough just clings together.

 

 

Pat on lightly floured surface til round and 3/4" thick.

 

Cut into 8 wedges and place on greased cookie sheet.
Brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
 

 

Bake at 425 for 12 minutes.

 

So absolutely yummy straight from the oven,
I just had to take a bite before grabbing the camera.  

Delicious morning, noon, teatime, or evening!  Enjoy!
