Easy Biquick Scones
I have been threatening
to make scones for a while now.
A friend and my neighbor
have been asking me to make them
and today seemed like to
perfect day to do it.
The reason the people I
know like scones is because I can control what goes in the scones and I can
make them lower in calorie or filled with goodies. My choice.
The one problem with
Bisquick is they don’t give just a generic version of scones everything is made with
additional ingredients.
I wanted to make sure I
got it right the first time I made these scones so I did some research and came up
with a suitable recipe.
First let me give you
the basic recipe for the scones that way you can decide what you want to put in
the scones.
Scones
2 c. Bisquick
1/3 c. low-fat milk
3 tbsp. sugar (2 pkg.equal)
1 tsp. vanilla
1 egg
Directions:
Mix and form into 8 inch circle. Use more Bisquick if this is sticky.
Put on greased cookie sheet; cut into eighths before baking.
Bake at 425 degrees for 12 minutes.
Now let me give you ideas for fillings. Today I used Chocolate chips in
half of the scones and the other side I used mixed berries and crushed pecans.
Then on top I brushed low fat milk instead of butter and sprinkled the
left over crushed pecan on top of that and baked the scone.
I buy the chocolate chips at the Dollar Tree and the dried mixed berries and pecans at the Dollar General. I pay a dollar for each bag and I get several uses out of these bags of fruit and nuts that makes them a really good value.
After I took the scones
out of the oven I let them cool for a while before I loosened the sides of the
scones and then flipped them upside down on a plate.
Scones are great by
themselves or with butter or sugar free jam.
You decide.
Now that my scones are
ready and this article is done I am going to go and read my book and enjoy a
scone and a cup of tea.
