Coffee Nut Scones
From cooking light, november 2000. I have not made these yet, so the times are guesstimates.
Steps
Direction.
Cut through the circle of dough , but do not separate the wedges.
This allows them to bake as one large scone , and they will be much moister than scones baked separately.
Scones:.
Combine 2 / 3 cup milk and the coffee granules in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave at high 1 minute.
Stir until coffee dissolves.
Cover and chill completely.
Stir in vanilla and egg.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups.
Level with a knife.
Combine flour and the next 4 ingredients in a bowl.
Cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
Stir in walnuts.
Add milk mixture , stirring just until moist.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
Knead lightly 4 times with floured hands.
Pat dough into an 8-inch circle on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray.
Cut dough into 10 wedges.
Do not separate.
Brush the dough with 2 teaspoons milk.
Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons sugar.
Bake at 425 degre.
