We certainly have had a Currier and Ives Christmas. Even for those of you who don’t like snow, it was a beautiful Christmas.
Hope you enjoy these recipes.

Cream Scones
(Bonnie Schmidt)
2 cups flour
1 Tbsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
1/4 cup sugar
¾ cup dried fruit (chopped)
1¼ cup whipping cream
Topping
3 Tbsp. melted butter
Sugar
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a bowl. Stir with a fork to mix well. Add fruit. Stir in the cream, mixing until the dough holds together in a rough mass (quite sticky).
Lightly flour working surface, transfer dough to it and knead 8 or 9 times. Divide dough into 3 equal parts. Form each part into a circle (4½ inch diameter). Liberally coat tops with butter, then sprinkle with sugar.
Cut each circle into 6 wedges, placing each wedge on baking sheet. Bake for about 13 minutes or until golden brown.
Makes 18 scones.

Helpful Hint: To keep your travel mug clean: Fill empty mug with hot soapy water and put on lid. Turn it upside down overnight.
In the morning, put a small amount of dish soap on a damp sponge add salt to scrub the inside of the mug. Use a children’s tooth brush or a tooth pick to clean the crevices.
Rinse and it is ready to go.
