Description
“No, I don’t want chocolate cherry scum.” Yes, those words came out of my husband’s mouth. “No, SCONES,” I said. Sheesh. Then I brought them to school. A colleague said: “Those chocolate biscuits you made were really good.” WHAT?! Call them what you want, but they’re good.
Ingredients
- ¼ cups Butter
- 2 cups Flour
- ¼ cups Packed Brown Sugar
- 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
- ¼ teaspoons Salt
- 1 cup Filling (fruit, Chocolate, Etc)
- ¾ cups Half-and-half
- 1 whole Egg
Preparation
Preheat oven to 375ºF.
Cut butter into mixture of flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add filling and toss to mix.
In a separate cup, beat together half-and-half and egg, and slowly pour into the dry ingredients, stirring until dough forms. Knead just until it comes together, 3 or 4 times. Don’t overhandle, or you-know-who will call (the tough biscuit police).
Divide dough in half. On a lightly floured board, shape each half into a 6-inch round. Cut into 6 wedges, depending on the size desired for your scum, I mean scones!
Bake on an ungreased sheet, or your favorite pizza stone, about 20 minutes. Serve warm!
Give me a holler and tell me what you think!
