Maury Place at Monument Very Berry Scones: Bread

Servings: 8

Prep time:15 min

Ingredients:

• 

  2 cups flour

• 

  4 teaspoons baking powder

• 

  3/4 teaspoon salt

• 

  1/3 cup white sugar

• 

  1/4 cup brown sugar

• 

  4 tablespoons butter

• 

  2 tablespoons shortening

• 

  3/4 cup finely chopped dried berries

• 

  3/4 cup cream

• 

  1 egg

• 

  4 teaspoon any flavor of jelly (optional)

Step 1:

Preheat oven to 375° F. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and sugars. Mix well. Cut in the butter and shortening. Stir and fluff in the dried berries.

Step 2:

In a separate bowl, combine cream, egg, and jelly (if using), mixing well. Fold into dry ingredients and mix just until moistened. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Pat into a circle and score wedges, or cut into biscuit-size rounds.

Step 3:

Bake no longer than 15 minutes! Transfer immediately onto cooling rack, or bake on grid baking sheet to keep bottoms from over-browning.
