Description

I was inspired to make these by a friend who asked me if I had a decent scone recipe.

Ingredients

  • 2-½ cups Flour
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • 2 Tablespoons Sugar
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoons Nutmeg
  • 6 Tablespoons Butter, Chilled
  • ⅓ cups Dried Strawberries
  • ⅓ cups Dried Cherries
  • ⅓ cups Dried Blueberries
  • ¾ cups Milk

Preparation

Sift and measure the flour. Re-sift the flour with the other dry ingredients. Work the butter into the dry ingredients with your fingers. Add the dried fruit to the flour mixture and mix thoroughly. Add the milk and mix until just incorporated. Do not over mix. Divide the dough into two equal parts. On an ungreased cookie sheet, pat into a round about the thickness of a biscuit (about 3/4 to 1 inch thick). Cut into wedge shaped pieces, like a pie and bake for 15 minutes at 450 degrees. Serve warm with fresh Clotted Cream (see my recipe box for my Clotted Cream recipe).

This sounds really good, but I’m wondering if you could substitute frozen berries for dried or if dried work best.

Delicious! I did make two changes — used half all-purpose flour and half whole wheat flour and used just dried blueberries (I had bought a mixed berry bag as well but we decided just to use blueberries so I picked out from there and added to a bag of dried blueberries). We also added some sugar on top of the scones before (and after) baking.

They tasted delicious warm and I just had a bite at room temperature and it was perfect. Not too dry or crumbly, perfectly moist and the nutmeg and cinnamon really gives it something extra. It was also a very easy recipe to prepare, and I will definitely be making them again!
