Cream Cheese Scones

MJMommy13's Note:

I adapted this from a savory recipe because they were so good, I thought they would make a wonderful sweet scone.

Yield: 16 scones

• 1/4 cup butter
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
2. Measure dry ingredients into food processor and pulse until well combined. Cut butter and cream cheese into small chunks and distribute throughout processor bowl.
3. Hit pulse about 10 times for 1-2 seconds each pulse until course crumbs develop.
4. Pour milk and vanilla through feed tube in a slow stream while pulsing until cohesive but crumbly dough forms.

These scones are very yummy. I cut them in triangles. I gave a few to my new friends that are Columbian and they never heard of scones. And they loved them. Thanks MJMommy13
