Master Scone Mix

Submitted by Kari-girl

"I got this scone recipe from Ana Olsen's bake show. Its lovely and rich. Then I decided to make a dry master mix to store in the cupboard ( like Bisquick). Then when I want to make scones, I just measure out the wet ingredients, and mix with the measured dry ingredients, bake and there you are. Fast, and delicious! This mix makes 3 batches."

Delicious scones. I used 50/50 all purpose and whole wheat flours and Splenda to sweeten. No add in's were used today but maybe next time *wink. I have the mix in the fridge as I'm not comfortable leaving the butter in the mix at room temp until used. I'm very happy with the finished scones, they have a thin crispy crust and are soft and yummy inside. Made for Pick A Chef, Spring 2013
