Berry-Lemon Scones
When you have overnight guests, treat them to a basket of warm lemony scones dotted with blueberries. They're easy to make for an early breakfast and taste great with coffee or tea.
Ingredients
-
3-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
-
2/3 cup sugar
-
1 tablespoon baking powder
-
1 teaspoon baking soda
-
3/4 teaspoon salt
-
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice plus enough milk to equal 1 cup
-
1 cup fresh blueberries
-
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
-
1 egg, lightly beaten
-
1 egg white
-
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Directions
1.
Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Spread a large sheet of parchment paper on countertop.
2.
Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Add butter; mix with pastry blender or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gently stir lemon-juice-milk mixture into dough, along with blueberries, lemon peel and egg, just until combined.
3.
With floured hands, pat half of the dough into a 7-inch circle on one end of the parchment paper. Repeat, with remaining dough, spacing 2 inches apart. Brush with egg white; sprinkle with sugar. Cut halfway down but not through each circle, 6 wedges for each round. Slide paper with dough onto baking sheet.
4.
Bake at 400 degrees F for about 18 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire rack to cool slightly. Pull apart at cut lines. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Cranberry-Orange Biscuits
Cut these flaky biscuits with a round biscuit cutter or glass dipped in flour between cuts. Avoid twisting the cutter and dough as you cut. For special occasions, cut stars, trees, pumpkins, and other shapes with open-end metal cookie cutters.
