Five-Fruit Granola Scones
Recipe by: Best Recipes, Muffins and Quick Breads
Makes: 6 servings

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar; divided
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1 cup granola
16 oz fruit cocktail in juice; drained
2 eggs; beaten

Preheat oven to 375 degrees; grease a baking sheet.

Combine the flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs; stir in the granola. Stir in the fruit cocktail and eggs; blend just until moistened.

Place the dough on a lightly floured surface. Roll out the dough into a 7-inch circle with a lightly floured rolling pin; place on the baking sheet. Sprinkle the remaining sugar over the top.

Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cut into 6 wedges. Remove from the baking sheet. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Serve warm or cool completely.
