- Yields:
-
12 scones
- Serves:
- 12
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
- Combine the sugar, salt, baking powder, and flour. I usually do 2/3 white, and 1/3 wholewheat flour for a slightly grainy look.
- Add the butter with your hands, until the mixture looks crumbly.
- In a smaller separate bowl, blend the eggs and milk, then add these to the above, not mixing thoroughly.
- 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!
- 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.
- 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.
- Finally, enjoy! These are best when served hot.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live on the west coast of Canada and love it here. I am an avid baker and cook, nature-lover, photographer-by-hobby, reader, runner.. yes, life is good. I love cooking pizza from scratch, concocting flavored sorbets, and baking cookies and cake. I am sort-of-known for my cake-baking skills: I've made them for my friends' surprise birthday parties, and for family members. I also made an E=MC2 shaped chocolate cake for physics class once. I love baking a cake based on the person's personality- cheese cake, coconut-peach cake, fruit and chocolate cake... it's fun. Anyway, that's a bit about me.
