We had a great show on Friday. Should college athletes be paid to pay college sports was the topic and we had some great comments. The show got so involved that the recipe didn't get finished. As promised here is the recipe for the Cinnamon Apple Scones. Enjoy!
Cinnamon Apple Scones
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons shortening, chilled
2 apple - peeled, cored and chopped
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract
2 tablespoons cinnamon sugar
1/4 cup sliced almonds (optional)
Directions
1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2.Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl. Using the dough mixer on your mixer cut in the shortening with the flour mixture until it resembles coarse corn meal.
3. Stir in the apples.
4.Whisk 1 egg, yogurt, 1 tablespoon milk, and almond extract together in a bowl until smooth. Stir the egg mixture into the flour mixture until blended. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead 4 to 5 times. Shape the dough in a 1 1/2 inch thick circle.
5. Cut dough into 8 wedges, and place on the parchment covered baking sheet.
6. To make the scone topping, whisk the remaining 1 tablespon of milk and 1 egg together in a small bowl. Brush the tops of scones with the egg mixture then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Sprinkle with almonds (if desired).
7. Bake in preheated oven about 20 minutes or until tops are golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
