    List of Ingredients




    Scones with Strawberry Butter


    3 1/2 cups unsifted all-purpose flour
    1/3 cup sugar
    5 teaspoons baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/3 cup butter
    1/3 cup vegetable shortening
    1 1/3 cups milk
    3 tablespoons prepared strawberry butter

    Recipe




    Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease a large baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

    In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter and shortening with a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Add the milk and stir until all the dry ingredients have been moistened.

    On a lightly floured board, pat the dough into a 10- by 4-inch rectangle. Cut the rectangle into 10 2-inch squares, then cut each square diagonally in half. Place triangular scones on the prepared baking sheet.

    Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until tops are golden brown and scones sound hollow when gently tapped. Cool 5 minutes on wire rack; split scones and fill each with a scant 1/2 teaspoon strawberry butter. Transfer to serving platter and serve warm.
