I got this basic recipe from a very sweet couple that own the B&B where Scott and I stayed on our honeymoon. They gave us the cookbook as a gift. I improvised the recipe quite a bit, and this is what I came up with. Bon appetite!
Scone Recipe:
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup all purpose flour
1 Tbsp. baking powder
1/3 cup sugar, plus more for topping
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
3/4 cup heavy cream (I just used milk)
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 cup chopped fresh strawberries
1/2 cup cottage cheese
Preheat oven to 400. Place dry ingredients into a food processor, and pulse to mix. In a separate bowl, combine wet ingredients, and whisk. Remove butter from refrigerator and add to dry ingredients. Pulse until the butter is completely cut through. The mixture will resemble course meal. Pour dry ingredients over wet ingredients and add strawberries. Mix until a ball forms. Spoon or drop balls of dough onto a baking sheet. Brush with butter and top with sugar. Bake 20 minutes or until scones are golden brown.
I did not use a food processor for this recipe. A fork or pastry knife works great! It's all about preference. :)
