Description

Cranberry Pecan Scones

Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups King Arthur 100% White Whole Wheat Flour

  • 3 tablespoons sugar

  • 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice

  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter, chilled, cut into pieces

  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries

  • 6 tablespoons half and half

  • 1 large egg, beaten to blend

  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

Instructions

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift together the dry ingredients, then add the butter, rubbing it in till the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in the cranberries and pecans.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the half and half, and egg. Add this mixture to the flour mixture and stir till the dough just comes together. Transfer it to a lightly floured work surface, knead it a couple of times, and shape it into a 1/2-inch thick round. Cut the round in half, and each half into 5 wedges.

Separate the wedges, and transfer them to a nonstick or parchment-lined (or lightly greased) baking sheet. Bake the scones in a preheated 400°F oven for about 10 minutes, or until they're golden brown.
