For my friend Sammi: A new scone recipe. If you love snickerdoodles, you'll love this moist light scone. It would be really good with some maple butter, or I liked it warmed up with just a little butter.
Cinnamon Sugar Scones
1/2 C sour cream
1/2 t baking soda
Combine sour cream with the baking soda in a small mixing bowl. Set aside.
2 1/4 C flour
1/2 C sugar
1 t baking powder
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 t salt
1/2 C cold butter
2 t cinnamon
garnish with addition cinnamon sugar before baking
Preheat oven to 350*F. Combine dry ingredients except cinnamon. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until it resembles fine bread crumbs. Whisk egg and cinnamon into sour cream mixture, add flour mixture and stir until it just comes together in a ball. On a pizza stone, or baking sheet, pat dough ball out into a circle about 3/4 inch thick. Cut into wedges, and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden.
I love chicken and dumplings. We always have stock on hand, and I have cooked chicken or turkey in the fridge at all times, too. I just make a thick chicken gravy and add a bag of frozen mixed vegetables, or the leftover cooked potatoes, carrots, and onions from a roast and some peas from the freezer. Then comes the dumplings, which are so easy.
Butter Dumplings
2 eggs
1/2 C all purpose flour
6 T softened butter
1/2 t salt
1 pinch ground nutmeg
In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and add the flour and mix. Into this mixture, beat the butter, salt and pinch of nutmeg to make a smooth batter. Bring the soup to a boil, Drop half teaspoonfuls of batter into the gently boiling soup. Cook 6 to 7 minutes at least.
