Strawberry Fields Forever Scones here's a good old hippie fresh strawberry recipe of mine

[Guest guest]

These look like a lot of work, they

aren't and well worth the effort.

 

 

 

Strawberry Fields Forever Scones

 

1 3/4 cup flour

4 tbls. butter

2 tsps baking powder

1/2 cup orange juice frozen concentrate

1/4 cup milk or soy milk, plus 1 tbl

1 tsp lemon zest

2 cups sliced strawberries

4 tbls strawberry jam

 

 

Stir the flour and baking powder together. Cut in the

butter until the

mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Mix the fruit juice

concentrate and milk

together, stir in the lemon zest. Make a well in the

center of the flour

mixture, pour in the liquid and begin to mix together

using a rubber spatula. The dough should come together

forming a ball,

yet remain fairly sticky.

Knead the dough a few times in the bowl until it forms

a workable ball, yet

retaining most of its stickiness - you may need to

work in an extra tbsp or

two of flour. Pat the dough down to a circle about 3/4

inch thick, wrap in

plastic and refrigerate for at least one hour.

 

Prepare a baking sheet by sprinkling it with a

generous amount of flour.

Cut the dough with a serrated knife down the middle,

as if you were

splitting an english muffin. Place the bottom half of

the scone dough on

the baking sheet, lay the sliced strawberries evenly

and place dallops of

the jam to cover the bottom half. Lay the top of the

scone dough over this

and slightly crimp the edges together. You may want to

carefully lift the

dough at this point to check that enough flour has

been sprinkled beneath

it to prevent it from sticking while it bakes. If not,

add a little extra.

 

Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut the dough,

using the dough divider

or a blunt knife, into 8 equal pie-shaped wedges.

Brush the top with a

little milk or egg whites for a shinier appearance.

 

Bake for 14 minutes or until browned. Serve when

cooled just enough to

handle, or store covered and re-heat in the toaster

oven to crisp.
