Jerrys Own World Famous True Triumph of the Culinary Art
Blue Corn Scones
1/2 cup Tamaya Roasted Blue Corn Meal
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 lb. chilled butter
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Grease & flour a baking sheet
Stir the dry ingredients in a bowl then cut the butter into the dry mixture with
a pastry blender (or suitable substitute) to form a course meal. Beat the egg
with the milk, sugar, and vanilla. When smooth, stir into the other mixture
until the dough holds together. Knead briefly on a floured surface; pat into an
8" circle; place on baking sheet. Using a pizza cutter or serrated knife, score
circle into 8 wedges. Bake for 15 or 20 minutes (depending on high or low
altitude) or until nicely brown. Serve with honey, fruits, jams, or, as the
British do, with clotted cream. Best straight from the oven but still great the
next day.
