We have been crazy for scones around my house lately. I just can’t get enough of them. I’ve been making a few batches every week. I love them with coffee in the morning, or as a snack in the afternoon. They even make a great snack for my son’s lunchbox. I’ve been making lots of different flavors, and these tangerine and mixed fruit scones are my latest creation.
Yield: Serves 4
Mixed Berry Tangerine Scones
Ingredients:
- 2 cups self-rising flour
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup very cold butter, cut in pats
- 1 tablespoon tangerine zest
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup milk or cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup dried mixed berries (blueberries, cherries and cranberries)
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 450°. Combine flour and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Mix well. Add tangerine zest and butter. Using a pastry knife, incorporate the butter in the flour until it is grainy.
- Add egg, milk, vanilla extract and berries. Mix until just combined. Use hands to finish incorporating flour into the dough.
- Form a disc with the dough on a lightly floured surface and cut into diamond shapes.
- Transfer scones to a parchment or nonstick surface on a baking sheet.
- Bake at 450 degrees for 12 - 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
