Description

Cinnamon-Pecan Scones

Ingredients

  • 3 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour

  • 1 tablespoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 1 cup pecan meal

  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

  • 1/2 cup cinnamon chips*

  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine

  • 3/4 cup buttermilk

  • 2 large eggs

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla or 1/4 teaspoon vanilla flavor powder

Instructions

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, pecan meal, pecans and cinnamon chips. Cut in the butter or margarine until the mixture resembles coarse cornmeal, with a few larger chunks of butter still showing. In a separate bowl, beat together the buttermilk, eggs and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients, and stir to combine.

Scrape the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead it gently just until it holds together. Pat it into a rectangle about 8 x 10 inches, and cut the dough into 2 to 3-inch diamonds or squares with a sharp knife. Place the scones on an ungreased cookie sheet, and bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 12 to 14 minutes, until theyÂ’re golden brown. Remove them from the oven, and serve warm.
