Cranberry Chocolate Chip Scones

Tuesday, November 23, 2010

One of my hubby's favorite foods is the scone. I had never made them before, but I found this really easy recipe from www.bettycrocker.com. So, I made them Sunday night for breakfast on Monday. The actual recipe is for Cherry-Chocolate Chip Scones, but I decided to use dried cranberries and I was looking for white sprinkles, but couldn't find any, so I used green. The recipe says to finely chop the fruit, but I put it in whole. They looked like Christmas with the red cranberries and green sprinkles...these will probably become a regular breakfast treat in my house!

What you need

2 cups Original Bisquick mix
1/3 cup finally chopped dried cranberries, cherries (any dried fruit)
1/3 cup mini semi sweet chocolate chips
3 tbsp granulated sugar
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 egg
About 1 tbsp milk
About 1 tbsp decorator sugar sprinkles

What to do

Heat oven to 425 degrees

Grease a cookie sheet with shortening or cooking spray.

In a medium bowl stir Bisquick, fruit, chocolate chips, granulated sugar, whipping cream, and egg until soft dough forms.

Place dough on surface sprinkled with Bisquick mix; gently roll in Bisqucik mix to coat. Shape into a ball; knead 10 times. Pat dough into 8 inch circle on cookie sheet, Brush dough with milk; sprinkle with sugar crystals. Cut into 8 wedges, but do not separate.

Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown; carefully separate wedges. Serve warm
