    Jam Filled Pecan Scones


    Source of Recipe


    Adapted from Simply Scones

    Recipe Introduction



    Delicious! They reheat well in the microwave.


    List of Ingredients





    2 c flour
    1/2 c finely chopped pecans *
    1/4 c sugar
    2 tsp baking powder
    1/2 tsp baking soda
    1/4 tsp salt
    6 tbsp chilled, unsalted butter
    2/3 c buttermilk
    1 tsp vanilla
    1/4 c raspberry preserves *

    Recipe




    Preheat to 400 and lightly grease a baking sheet.*
    Combine flour, pecans, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir to mix.
    Slice the butter into tbsp pieces, then add to flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter to cut in until mixture resemebles coarse crumbs.
    In a measuring cup, combine buttermilk and vanilla. Stir well.
    Add liquids to flour mixture and stir to combine.
    Lightly flour hands and cutting board.
    Divide dough in half and form a 5 inch circle out of each half.
    Cut each circle into 6 pieces, then place all 12 pieces on baking sheet.
    Make a slice in the top of each piece and carefully spoon 1 teaspoon into the slit.
    Bake for 17 to 19 minutes or until the tops are lightly browned.
    Remove pan to wire rack and cool for 5 minutes. Then place scones on wire racks to cool.
    Serve warm or cool.
    Store in an airtight container in refrigerator.
    These freeze well.
    Makes 12.

    Notes:
    Original recipe calls for walnuts and strawberry preserves.
    I used Saco buttermilk powder and water.
    I baked on Silpat sheets.

    The dough was kind of gooey and not easy to handle. Next time I will just form 12 balls, flatten them, and then insert the preserves.

    Very good!! My family really likes these.
