Cranberry Pine Nut Scones

 

Ingredients

• 2 cups Flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon Salt
• 1/4 cup Butter
• 1 Egg
• 1/2 cup milk
• 3 tablespoons Pine nuts
• 2 handfuls Dried cranberries

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400.

2. Put the pine nuts in a skillet over medium high heat. Toast until golden. Add the butter and heat just until melted.

3. Put the flour, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl.

4. In a separate bowl, measure the milk, mix in the egg and melted butter/pine nuts. Stir until combined.

5. Stir the wet ingredients into the flour until just combined. Knead lightly with your hands a few times until the dough sticks together. (It’s not too messy, don’t worry).

6. Pat into a circle on an ungreased cookie sheet. The dough will be about 1.5 inches thick and the circle will be 7 or so inches in diameter.

7. Using a very sharp knife, cut into wedges. Distribute these wedges around the cookie sheet.

8. Bake for 13 minutes or until lightly golden.

These freeze well.
