Tips and Tricks for Scone Perfection

First of all, measuring ingredients accurately does make a difference for the outcome of baked goods. Use your measuring spoons and cups and always level what you need off with a knife or inside the inside of the container as I do with baking powder.

Secondly, you have the freedom to vary this recipe with adding some chopped nuts such as walnuts and pecans along with a dash of cinnamon, which is beneficial for health due to all its antioxidants for reducing inflammation and lowering blood sugar.

Thirdly, one large mixing bowl and a wooden spoon or fork is good enough for incorporating the ingredients.

Fourthly, the humidity in the air can affect baking. If the dough becomes slightly sticky to the touch when you later attempt to pat the dough into a large circle to cut into wedges, you can pat the dough with some flour or add a tablespoon or two of flour to work back into the scones. This will solve the problem when you go to cut them.

Easy and Irresistible Lemon Cherry Scones

2-2/3 cups of sifted flour
2 teaspoons of baking powder, leveled
2 large eggs
1/4 cup of sugar
½ cups of candied red cherries, finely sliced
1 ½ teaspoons of lemon extract
1/3 cup of quick oats
1/3 cup of canola oil
1/3 cup of water

In a large mixing bowl, add all the ingredients and stir well to combine them.

Pat the dough to form a somewhat thick circle about eight inches around and two inches high.

Then cut in half and divide each half into thirds before placing on your greased baking pan. (If the dough becomes slightly sticky when lifting it after cutting, then pat the palm of hands with a little flour helps remedy that).

Bake in a 400-degree oven for about 12-15 minutes, depending on how your oven is regulated and the size of the scones you cut. The top and bottom will be gently brown.

ENJOY!
