Blueberry Cranberry Scones

I got this recipe from my friend Mindy. We changed just a few things and Ricky made these for breakfast this morning. They are very tasty. Thanks for sharing the recipe Mindy! 1/3 cup dried cranberries and blueberries (use whatever proportion you want - just make sure the total amount of dried fruit adds up to 1/3 cup) 3/4 cup buttermilk (make your own buttermilk by mixing 3/4 tablespoon lemon juice with enough milk to make the total liquid amount equal 3/4 cup) 2 cups flour 2 tablespoons sugar 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon vanilla 1/3 cup cold butter 1/2 cup white chocolate chips milk (to brush tops of scones) sugar (to sprinkle on tops of scones)

1. Combine dried fruit with buttermilk. Set aside.


2. Combine flour, sugar, baking soda, salt and vanilla.


3. As you cut the butter into small shavings, drop it into flour mixture. Use a pastry blender to work it through the dry ingredients (Ricky actually just used the kitchenaide to mix it together).


4. Add white chocolate chips and the fruit/milk mixutre.


5. Turn onto floured surface. Knead and pat into a 3/4-inch thick circle. Cut into 8 wedges. Place onto a pizza stone or lightly greased baking sheet. Brush scones with milk and sprinkle sugar on top.


6. Bake at 400 for 18 minutes or until lightly golden.
