BED & BREAKFAST SCONES
Started making these years ago; when oldest daughter was in high school, she'd request these whenever a friend stayed over for the weekend. Serve with Recipe #230378, Recipe #230379, Recipe #208953 or your favorite jam with butter. TIME-SAVING TIP: Line up several zip-top, quart-size bags (I do 10 at a time [10 bags = 10 recipes]), then pour in the dry ingredients, then label and store in a cool, dark spot in the pantry. At meal-time, dump one bag into mixing bowl and proceed. This works for pancakes, cornbread and pizza, too! Easy for the kids to whip a batch together, too!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400; set aside a lightly greased baking stone or cookie sheet.
- In a large bowl, combine dry ingredients; cut in butter to resemble coarse crumbs; select one or more Optional Add-In from the list above (equalling about 1 cup total); make well in the center.
- In a measuring cup, mix milk and eggs, pour into well in flour mixture EXCEPT -- reserve about 1 tablespoon of egg-milk; add flavoring of choice.
- Stir flour-milk mixture with a fork, it will be slightly dry and rather stiff (add a bit extra milk if it appears "too" dry).
- Dump dough onto a floured surface, incorporating any dry crumbs from the bottom of the bowl; knead several times but DO NOT OVERWORK the dough.
- Divide into two balls; place one on either end of the baking stone or cookie sheet; pat into an 8-inch disk, about half-inch thick.
- Using a pastry brush, spread the reserved egg-milk over the tops of both disks; sprinkle with Topping of Choice covering thoroughly.
- With a pizza cutter or big knife, cut each cake into wedges (four large or six small), LEAVE IN PLACE.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes (tops will be golden brown); separate wedges and check that dough is "dry" -- if not, pop back in oven & give it 2-3 more minutes; then serve immediately.
- SERVE WITH: Recipe #186965 or Recipe #208437.
- LEFTOVER SCONES: as if -- but okay IF you have leftovers, cut horizontally, spread with butter and toast lightly.
- GREAT COMBINATIONS:.
- chocolate chips with cranberries & brown sugar topping.
- chocolate chips with orange zest & orange flavoring.
- cranberries with walnuts.
- cranberries with apricots.
- apricots with nuts.
- poppyseeds with lemon flavoring & zest.
- cheese with nuts or chocolate chips.
