Recipe of the Week – Cranberry Cream Scones

June 23, 2008

(from the Bread Collection at emealsforyou.com)

Our friend Jean is coming for a short visit this weekend.  Jean is the god-mother to our kids and a friend for over 35 years.  What this means is for a few days we’ll be having relaxing breakfasts over too much coffee, not the usual 5:45 A.M. bowl of cereal.

Jean is also the person who got us into cooking.  We would alternate between her house and ours for dinner parties, mostly cooking Julia Child recipes.  We’ll have a few dinner parties while she is here and I’ll keep you posted if I cook anything that I think you would like.

Back to the recipe… scones are the perfect leisurely breakfast food.  They almost demand that you take your time and relax before setting out to see what the day brings.  Try these and see if you don’t agree.

Cranberry Cream Scones

Recipe Summary
Complexity: Easy
Serves: 6
Category: Breads
Meal: Lunch with the Ladies (Celebration Meal Plans)
2.5 cup flour
5 tsp baking powder
2.5 Tb sugar, white
0.25 tsp salt, table
6 Tb butter, unsalted
0.75 cup cream, heavy
3 large egg
0.33 cup cranberries, dried
0.33 cup milk, whole

Sift together flour, baking powder, 4 teaspoons sugar, and salt. Add cold butter, cut into small pieces, and blend until mixture resembles cornmeal. Mix together two lightly beaten eggs and cream. Mix with dried cranberries into flour mixture. Do not over mix- mix just until it forms dough. Pat out dough onto floured surface and cut with a 2 inch round cutter. Brush tops of scones with an egg wash of 1 egg lightly beaten with 1/3-cup milk. Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet at 450 degrees for about 15 minutes or until tops are lightly browned.
