Recipe Introduction


For those quick breakfast breads try one of these. From this one "base" mix you can turn it into many choices to try. Serve them freshly baked.


List of Ingredients




Base Mix:
2 C buttermilk baking mix such Bisquick or Jiffy
2 T sugar for sweet or 1 tablespoon for savor
1/2 C half and half
2 T melted butter

To the base mix add your choice for any of the following variations:

Sweet Scones~~~

**Chocolate-Pecan**
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips (I add more)
1/3 cup chopped pecans
**Ginger-Peach**
2/3 cups chopped fresh or frozen peaches
1 tablespoon chopped candied ginger
**Oatmeal-Raisin**
1/3 cup quick oats
1/2 cup raisins
**Dates or Raisins**
1/2 cup of dates or raisins (your choice)
1/3 to 1/2 cup chopped nuts (if you like - me I use more dates)

Savory Scones~~~

**Bacon-Cheddar**
3 slices cooked bacon-crumbled
1/3 C shredded cheddar cheese
**Corn**
2/3 C frozen corn
1/4 C chopped pimentos-drained
**Herb-Parmesan**
1/3 C grated Parmesan Cheese
1 t chopped fresh parsley
1 t thyme
1 t rosemary

Recipe



Heat oven to 425F. In medium bowl combine baking mix, sugar and flavor ingredients. Stir in half and half and butter to form dough. Turn onto floured surface and knead 10 times. Divide dough in half and shape into two 6" disks.

For sweet scones-brush with water and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. sugar.

Place on cookie sheet and cut each disk into 6 wedges, separating wedges a bit. Bake 15 to 17 minutes or until golden.

To prepare in advance-wrap unbaked disks in plastic wrap and freeze. When ready to bake, place frozen disks on cookie sheet, brush with water and sprinkle with sugar-if using sugar. Cut and separate wedges and bake 17 to 20 minutes. I have made the sweet version using other fruits that we like such as chopped apples, mashed banana, blueberries, raspberries, and dried apricots. Really any of your favorites.

Yes, when not on hand I've used milk in place of half & half (just not as rich tasting). I keep one in the freezer for those lazy mornings.
