Trail Mix Scones

This is a great recipe for scones. basically you can add your favorite dried fruits and nuts to it in the amounts given for this recipe. I love lots of varied fruits in mine. I especially like the Tidbits dried fruit mix that you can get. The blueberry Cranraisins are great too.

2 C flour
1/4 C sugar
11/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
6 Tbsp COLD butter
1/2 C buttermilk
1 egg beaten
1/2 C dried fruit bits
1/2 C nuts or mix of nuts and coconut

Cut the butter into flour, salt, and sugar.  Add soda to buttermilk and mix with beaten egg. Add fruit bits and nuts to flour mix. Slowly add buttermilk to flour mix, until you have a nice smooth dough. Do not over mix, it makes the dough tough. Roll dough out to 3/4 inch thickness. Cut with round cookie cutter. Place on cookie sheet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat oven to375^. Bake for about 10 min. Brush with milk mixed with a little sugar. Bake for about 5 min more until golden brown.
