RECIPE of the Day - 3/17/2007

Being about 1/2 English, I have always loved tea and scones. These scones are very good with the cranberries, but if you don't like cranberries, you can use blueberries instead.




Cranberry Scones

2 C. flour
1/2 C. sugar
2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1 C. fresh or frozen cranberries, thawed
1.2 C. butter, melted
1/2 C. half & half
2 large eggs
1 t. cream
2 T. sparkling sugar or glitter sugar

Stir together first 4 ingredients in a large bowl; stir in cranberries.

Whisk together butter, 1/2 C. half & half and 1 egg; add to flour mixture, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened and dough forms. Drop dough by 1/3 cupfuls onto a lightly greased baking sheet. Whisk together remaining 1 egg and 1 T. cream. Brush tops of dough with egg mixture and sprinkle evenly with sparkling or glitter sugar.

Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
