Marmalade Scones

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 4 cups flour
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 eggs
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1/4-1/2 cup marmalade, to taste
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional)

Directions

1. 1

   Combine the sugar, salt, baking powder, and flour. I usually do 2/3 white, and 1/3 wholewheat flour for a slightly grainy look.

2. 2

   Add the butter with your hands, until the mixture looks crumbly.

3. 3

   In a smaller separate bowl, blend the eggs and milk, then add these to the above, not mixing thoroughly.

4. 4

   Now, measure out 1/4 cup marmalade (or less) and gradually add the full amount of marmalade until a satisfactory taste level is reached. I usually do the full 1/2 cup, but do as you please- not everyone likes marmalade as much as I do!

5. 5

   Roll into a flat-ish disc about 1 1/2" thick. Cut into 12 triangles/square shapes. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for an easy cleanup.

6. 6

   Bake for 10-15 minutes at 425F until golden brown. For an elegant look, bake for the last 3-5 minutes with brown sugar sprinkled on top.

7. 7

   Finally, enjoy! These are best when served hot.
