Krissie's Scones

In case I ever lose it again.

Krissie's Scones
1/3 c butter, softened
1/2 c sugar
2 c flour
2 t baking powder
1/4 c milk
2 eggs
1/2 c each dried fruit, nuts

Preheat oven to 375.

Cut the butter into the dry ingredients until well incorporated. Beat the eggs into the milk. Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the milk-egg mixture. Mix only until slightly moistened. Add fruit and nuts. Mix as little and as gently as possible until dough is cohesive. Shape into a ball and turn out onto a floured surface. Pat cake into a 9" or 10" circle. Cut into 8 pie-shaped wedges. Slit each wedge down the middle lengthwise.

Bake 12-15 minutes. Don't let the edges brown. Underbaked is better than overbaked.
