Raspberry Scones
================

2 1/4 cups flour,
1/2 cup sugar,
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder,
1/2 teaspoon salt,
6 Tbsp. cold butter,
1 cup heavy cream,
3/4 cup fresh raspberries,
extra cream and sugar

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and
salt. Cut butter into mixture with pastry blender until it resembles a
course meal. Add cream and raspberries to dry ingredients. Mix lightly with
fork until mixture forms a stiff dough. Knead on floured board just to
incorporate all flour; try not to damage berries.

Roll into 7-inch round and cut into 6 or 8 wedges. Place 1 inch apart on
greased baking sheet; brush tops with cream and sprinkle with sugar. Bake
for 15 to 18 minutes.

Note: When adding fruit to the scone mixture, make sure the raspberries or
blueberries are frozen. Otherwise you end up with crushed fruit. Still
tastes as good, but not as pretty. I usually add the cream and when the
dough has almost come together I add the frozen fruit. With the Chocolate
you can add it along with the cream.

Butter-Lard Pastry

Posted by: Ann_T (My Page) on Sun, Jan 12, 03 at 22:43

==================
2 cups all purpose flour,
3/4 teaspoon salt,
1/3 cup butter,
1/3 cup lard (or shortening),
5 to 6 tablespoons of ice water

(note: if using for a sweet pie, add 1 or 2 teaspoons of sugar.)
. Mix flour with salt, and cut in butter and lard.

(Note: I use the cuisinart to cut in my fat and then move the mixture to a
bowl to add the water by hand). I like to have to do this by feel which I
find I can't do by machine)

Put flour mixture in bowl and add water mixing with a fork until pastry
comes together. Form in to a ball and cut in two pieces. Form each into a
round flat disc and refrigerate for 1 hour.
