Trail Mix Scones

I started making these scones a few years ago, I had them at a bakery in the Bitterroot and had to find a recipe to make them. This recipe is a adaptation of several recipes that made the closet version to the ones I had from the bakery.

Trail Mix Scones
2 C Flour
1/3 C Sugar
1 1/2 t Baking Powder
1/2 t Soda
1/4 t Salt
6 T Butter
1/2 C Buttermilk
1 Beaten egg
1 1/2 t Vanilla
1/2 C Dried Fruit bits (I like berries and dates)
1/2 C Chopped nuts (I like pecans the best)
Cut COLD butter into flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder. Add fruit bits and nuts. Stir soda into buttermilk; beat egg; add vanilla, and stir into buttermilk mix. Mix into flour and fruit mixture until you have a slightly stiff dough. Knead smooth, but don't over work.  Roll out on lightly floured surface. Cut out to rounds or wedges. Bake at 375^ for about 15 minutes.  Brush scones with sugar water or milk. Bake for about 5 minutes more until golden brown.
