I mangle pastry dough when I use the food processor, but I'm glad it worked for you. Speaking of Ann's scones, I started to make them the other day when my daugtter was in town, and asked her whether she'd prefer blueberries or raspberries. Well, turned out she doesn't like fruit in pastries or muffins, other than pies. What to do, since I had the dough prepared. I decided to add cinnamon and some chopped, toasted walnuts. I don't remember if I added any other spices, but they turned out quite tasty, and she loved them. So, Ann's basic scone recipe is quite adaptable. Thanks, Ann! Sally

They will be fine in the fridge until morning. I freeze them unbaked too. David

Here it is: Home Cookin Chapter: Recipes From Thibeault's Table Scones (Raspberry, Blueberry, Fresh Currants,etc..) =================================================== 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.

Laceyvail, you just proved what I have always said. Bread is one of the most forgiving things to make. I know some really care about the science of baking bread, but I've never cared about anything except the finished product. Unless your yeast is dead you will almost always end up with a great tasting loaf of bread.
