INSTRUCTIONS
Date: Thu, 14 Mar 1996 19:12:23 -0500 From: beck4@pipeline.com (Eileen
& Bob Holze) 1. Soak cherries in warm water. Let stand until
softened, 1 hour. Drain and discard liquid. 2. Preheat oven to 375
deg. 3. In a medium bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, wheat
flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg. Using a
patry blender cut butter into flour mixture until coarse crumbs form.
4. Mix together egg yolk and buttermilk. 5. Make a well in the
center of flour mixture. Add egg mixture and cherries all at once to
well, tossing with a fork until a soft dough forms. 6. On a floured
surface, knead dough 10 times. Using a floured rolling pin, roll
dough to a 1 in. thickness. Using a floured 3 in. heart-shaped cookie
cutter, cut out scones. Gather trimmings, roll dough to a 1 in.
thickness, and cut out more scones. 7. Place scones, 1 in. apart, on
an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until golden, 18 to 20 min. Transfer
to a wire rack to cool. Dust with confectioners' sugar. NOTES : With
a tempting blend of sweet and sour, these Valentine scones relect the
true nature of romance. Make these scones in a variety of shapes.
Serve with honey, sweet butter, or jam. Makes 8 scones.
