Harvest Scones

After I made the banana chocolate chip scones (my girls had that for their lunch at the school).

I wanted to make something different by attempting to use the dried fruits. All I have was those dried apples and peaches in my pastry shelf. It popped up in my mind that apples and peaches are somehow "harvest" so that why I decided to name this.

This is little different than what I had first made the banana chocolate chip scones by switching the sugars and egg. Of course increased the cups of flour to make it as 8 sections instead of 4.

Here's the recipe:

1 3/4 cup all purpose flour

1/3 cup gratulated sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon cinnamon

6 tablespoon of cold butter, cut into cubes

1 egg

1/2 cup milk

For mine- I chopped mostly of dried apples and peaches so it's like approximately 2/3 cup each.

Preheat oven at 400 degree

In a bowl, mix all of the dry ingredients except the dried fruits. Put those cubed butter into the flour mixture and mix it together with your fingers until it gets smoothly.

Put those dried fruits into the flour mixture and add the egg and milk until the dough comes together (to let you know it's very sticky).

Dust the counter with some flour to make sure that dough comes together well enough to cut into 8 sections.

Spray the cooking oil on the baking sheet and place the 8 sections on it. Bake it at 400 degree about 15 to 17 minutes or until light golden. Don't be alarm if the bottom can burn a little bit- you can cut it off thinly to remove those burn bottoms.

It tastes so wonderful with those dried apples and peaches with those flavor of cinnamon and nutmeg.

You can add any dried fruits as your choice like cranberry, cherry, blueberry and/or etc..
