MELT IN YOUR MOUTH SCONES

Recipe Introduction


VERY LIGHT AND AIRY. THESE SCONES ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD. THEY REMIND ME OF THE YEAST BISCUITS WHICH I MAKE. ONE BITE AND YOU WILL BE HOOKED.





List of Ingredients



• 6 CUPS SIFTED FLOUR
  
• 3 TABLESPOONS BAKING POWDER

Instructions



1. PREHEAT OVEN TO 400°.

3. PAT OUT A BALL INTO A 6" CIRCLE. CUT INTO WEDGES AND PLACE CLOSE TOGETHER ON A LIGHTLY GREASED BAKING SHEET. BRUSH THE TOPS WITH 1/2 & 1/2 AND SPRINKLE WITH A GOOD AMOUNT OF SUGAR AND BAKE UNTIL SLIGHTLY BROWN ABOUT 15 MINUTES. OR IF YOU LIKE, DROP A 1/4 CUP OF DOUGH ON BAKING SHEET, OR ROLL OUT DOUGH AND CUT OUT WITH A 2" FLOURED BISCUIT CUTTER.

6. THIS DOUGH IS BEAUTIFUL AND FIRM ENOUGH FOR YOU TO HANDLE.
   
   






Final Comments


IF YOU DECIDE NOT TO ADD THE SUGAR. THE SCONES WILL BE SOMEWHAT BLAND AND SHOULD BE SERVED WITH A SWEET JAM OR PRESERVE WHILE STILL WARM.
