Today I made these scones. Baking is nothing new for me. I would do it every day if I had the willpower to not eat all of it! I have a weakness for sweets...candy, cookies, cake, frosting. I love it all.
I recently took part in a women's ministry at church called Apples of Gold. It was a 6 week bible study run by some awesome women! Every Tuesday I was welcomed into their homes for a cooking demonstration, bible study, encouragement and conversation!
One of my favorite things that we made were these scones! I had to make them again today, as I have been CRAVING them!
AND...I proudly ate them for all 3 meals!
Items Needed:
3 C flour
1/2 C sugar
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
6 T cold butter (no substitutions)
1 C vanilla yogurt
1/4 C + 2 T milk; divided
1 1/3 C fruit...dried OR frozen
2/3 C vanilla or white chips
*In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and soda.
*Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
*Combine yogurt and 1/4 cup milk; stir into crumb mixture just until moistened.
*Knead in the white chips. Fold in your fruit. If you choose to use frozen you are going to want to knead it less, or your dough will take on the color of the fruit. (I formed a pocket with my dough and placed the frozen fruit inside and closed it).
*Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper, then pat the dough into 2 - 9" circles. Cut each circle into 8 wedges; separate wedges.
*Brush with the remaining milk.
*Bake at 400 for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
*Use glaze to drizzle over the scones.
I didn't really have a recipe for the glaze...but this is what I used:
2 1/2 C powdered sugar
2 T room temperature butter
1 1/2 tsp almond flavoring
Enough milk to make the consistency right
Add first three ingredients together in a zip lock bag, mixing well...add small amounts of milk until the desired consistency is reached. Cut a small hole in one tip of the bag and use that to pipe your gaze on. No mess to clean up!
Serve warm!
