Susan: Here are some scone recipes previously posted on TKL******************
These two recipes from my English
grandmother - both are great.
I pat the dough of both into a circle about 10" in
diameter and then cut through the dough with a knife making six
scones. They do not dry out as much in the baking process and freeze
very well - Wrap them individually.
Buttermilk Scones
2 cups flour
2 tbsp sugar
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup butter chilled
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 egg beaten
You can add blueberries - we like them with golden
raisins
Cut butter into dry ingredients (like making pastry),
Beat egg, add buttermilk
and stir into flour mixture. Gather up with your
hands and pat into a
circle on a greased pan. Score with knife - brush
with a little more buttermilk
Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes - will be golden
on top
**************
Orange Yogurt Scones
2 cups flour
1/3 cup plus 2 tsp sugar
2 tbsp baking powder
1/4 each baking soda and salt
3 tbsp cold butter
1 6 oz. carton lemon or orange yogurt
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tbsp grated orange peel
Mix dry ingredients and cut butter into flour mixture.
Mix all wet ingredients together and stir into flour mixture. Pat
into a circle on greased pan, score dough into wedges. Bake at
400 degrees for about 15 minutes - until golden. You can also add
cranberries or dried cherries to this recipe.

until all the dough is used and there are 16 round.
Place 8 of the
rounds on an ungreased baking sheet. Top each
round with a piece of
the chocolate and one of the remaining circles of
dough. Press the
edges gently to seal. Bake for 17-19 minutes, or
until lightly
browned. Remove the baking sheet to a wire rack
and cool 5 minutes.
Using a spatula, transfer the scones to the wire rack
to cool. Serve
warm or cool completely and store in an airtight
container. VARIATION
(Variation): Make the dough as above,
omitting bittersweet
chocolate, substituting 1/2 c. unsalted peanuts for
the chopped
peanuts and kneading in 3/4 c. semisweet chocolate
chips at the same
time. Put the dough into a 9-inch diameter circle on
a baking sheet.
With a serrated knife, cut into 8 wedges. Bake
20-22 minutes, or
