Ultimate Nut Scones (I’ve already eaten two )

Since I’ve begun baking for local charity bake sales, I’m resurrecting recipes I haven’t used in years.  This is one of the all-time best scone recipes you’ll ever eat.

2 cups flour

1/2 cup sugar

2 tspns. cream of tartar

3/4 tspn. baking soda

6 Ts butter

1/2 cup nuts

2 eggs

1 T milk

GLAZE: (I skip the glaze — unnecessary!)

More milk

Granulated sugar

NOTE: Don’t use walnuts. Chopped macadamia nuts are AWESOME!

Heat oven to 425°F. Combine flour, sugar, cream of tartar and baking soda. Cut in butter. Stir in nuts. Separately, combine eggs and 1 T milk. Add to dry ingredients, stir until just moistened. Form dough into a ball.

On a lightly floured surface, roll or pat dough into a circle, 3/4 inch thick and about 7 inches dia. Cut into 6-8 wedges. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Brush with additional milk if desired, and sprinkle with sugar if desired. Bake in 425°F oven for 12 to 15 mins. or until golden.

6-12 scones.
