Quick Mix Scones

Course: BreakfastCategories: Biscuit, Bread, QuickServing size:
Yield: 8 scones
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups (11 3/4 ounces) Quick Mix
2 tablespoons (3/4 ounce) sugar
3/4 cup (3 to 4 ounces) raisins, currants, or the dried fruit of
your choice
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1/2 teaspoon butter-vanilla flavor
powder
1 egg (or 1 1/2 tablespoons dried whole eggs + 2 tablespoons
water)
1/3 cup (2 3/4 ounces) water, milk, or cream*
coarse white sugar or cinnamon-sugar, for topping (optional)

*Clearly, cream will make a richer, more tender scone than water;
it's up to you and your diet which liquid option you choose.

Directions Whisk the sugar, dried fruit and nutmeg into the Quick
Mix. Whisk the flavor, egg and liquid together, and stir them into
the dry ingredients. Mix until evenly moistened.

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface. Gently fold
it over until it holds together. Place it on a lightly greased
baking sheet, pat it into an 8-inch circle, and cut it into 8
wedges. Pull the wedges apart slightly. Brush the tops of the
scones with a bit of milk, and sprinkle them with coarse sugar.
Bake them in a preheated 400F oven for 18 to 22
minutes, until lightly browned.
