Blackberry and Raspberry Scones

Ok everyone....here is my 1st Recipe of the new blog!!

I have never made scones before, but had some Berries that I wanted to use up, so thought I would give it a try. Not too bad for my 1st time, next time I would like to find a recipe that has more of a "dough" that I can roll out and cut into pieces. If you have something, I would love to try it!


Raspberry and Blackberry Scones



Ingredients:

1 beaten egg, seperated
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 tsp Vanilla
2 Cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 cup sugar
10 Tbsp Butter-chilled and cut up
1 Cup berries
1/2 cup Heavy cream/whole milk




In a small bowl mix 1/2 beaten egg, buttermilk and vanilla

In mixing bowl, mix flour, baking powder & Soda, salt and sugar. Cut in butter until mixure resembles coarse cornmeal.





Gently fold in berries to flour mix



Then add buttermilk mix until loose, soft dough forms


(This will be a sticky part!!)

Form scones and placed on greased baking sheet. Brush with cream/milk and egg wash, then sprinkle with sugar



Bake at 375 degrees for 30-35 min.



**They look a bit more like muffin tops than scones, but taste pretty good! Can't wait to share them this weekend!
