Ingredients for Homemade Scone Mix

4 cups all-purpose flour

2/3 cup sugar

1/2 cup powdered milk

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2/3 cup shortening

Optional ingredients (you can mix and match) - 1 1/2 cups:

Dried cranberries

Nuts: walnuts, pecans, almonds...

Dried apricots

Dried apples

Dried strawberries

Dried cherries

Etc

Method for Homemade Scone Mix

In a large bowl, put the flour, powdered milk, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the shortening. Work it in with the tip of your fingers - or a pastry blender - until the shortening is totally mixed into the flour.

Add your "mix ins."

Pour 3 cups of the mix in a baggy - or containers of your choice.

This will make about 3 batches. Each batch should make 10 to 12 scones.

To make the scones, you will need:

3 cups of the mix

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract - almond, lemon, or orange

Instead of the extract - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup water

Mix all the ingredients together.

Drop by the spoonful onto a greased - or parchment lined - cookie sheet.

Bake at 400 degrees for 14 to 20 minutes - depending on the size of the scones you make or until lightly golden.

Below is an example of chocolate and banana chip scones.
