Guest guest Posted August 17, 1999 Report Share Posted August 17, 1999 Here are several recipes for scones -- one of my favorite foods. I have made most of these. Our favorites are the Cream Scones (great with butter & raspberry jam or with chocolate gravy) and the Chocolate Chip. The Double Orange are pretty good too. The Triple Fruit ones are lower in fat. * Exported from MasterCook * Chocolate Chip Scones Recipe By : Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Breads Breakfast Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 3 cups flour 1/3 cup light brown sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 5 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 eggs 3/4 cup buttermilk (or regular milk) 1 cup milk chocolate chips (I use Ghiradelli) EGG WASH: 1 egg beaten w/pinch of salt Place oven rack in middle of oven and preheat oven to 450 degrees. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. Cut the butter into 12 pieces and rub it evenly into the dry ingredients until the mixture has the appearance of fine cornmeal. Add chocolate chips. Whisk the eggs and milk together and stir into the flour and butter mixture with a fork to form a smooth dough. Divide dough into 3 pieces and form each into a 5-inch disk. Using a sharp, floured knife, quarter each disk into 4 wedges (pie slice shape). Place the wedges wide apart on a prepared baking pan. Apply egg wash evening over wedges, allow wash to dry several minutes, then apply again. Bake scones for 10 to 15 minutes or until firm but not dry. Be careful not to let them get too brown. Pan: I just put them on an ungreased baking sheet, but recipe states to cover the pan with parchment or foil. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Per serving: 183 Calories (kcal); 6g Total Fat; (28% calories from fat); 4g Protein; 28g Carbohydrate; 44mg Cholesterol; 186mg Sodium Food Exchanges: 1 1/2 Grain(Starch); 0 Lean Meat; 0 Vegetable; 0 Fruit; 1 Fat; 1/2 Other Carbohydrates Nutr.

Great the next day. You might experiment with the sugar and butter content: more butter makes them richer and more scone-like. Instead of currants you can use chopped dry cranberries. Nutr.
