Hi everyone,
Just thought that I'd share a fabulous treat that I made for the family this morning. Here are a couple of links to pictures: A largish one for viewing http://tinypic.com/zlbvt and a small one for the NYC users to attach to the recipe http://tinypic.com/zlbww Happy Holidays Don Munro @@@@@ Now You're Cooking! Export Format Christmas Morning Apricot Scone Wreath holidays, quickbreads 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour 2 tbsp sugar 2 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 cup butter; cold, cubed 1 cup buttermilk 2 tbsp buttermilk; see note 2 eggs 1/3 cup apricot jam 1/2 cup walnuts; toasted, chopped finely ============ 1/3 cup icing sugar 1 tbsp orange juice Make a festive wreath with a circle of pinwheel style biscuits rolled with sweet jam and toasted nuts. - Line large circular baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside. - In large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In small bowl, whisk buttermilk with one of the eggs; add to flour mixture stirring with fork to make a soft ragged dough. (Note: I added the 2 tbsp extra buttermilk as the original recipe was too dry.) - With lightly floured hands, press dough into ball. On lightly floured board, knead gently 10 times. Roll out to a 10 x 16 inch rectangle. Spread with jam, leaving 1/2 inch border at one long side uncovered. Sprinkle with walnuts. Starting at covered long side, roll up dough; pinching edges to seal. - Using serrated knife, cut into 1 inch thick slices. Arrange, cut side up and overlapping, in 9 inch circle on prepared pan. (Make ahead note: Freeze until firm. Wrap in plastic wrap then heavy duty foil; freeze for up to one week. Unwrap and return to baking sheet; thaw in refrigerator and add 10 minutes to baking time.) - In small bowl, lightly beat remaining egg; brush over wreath. Bake in center of 400�F oven until golden, about 20 - 25 minutes. (Original recipe said 15 minutes, but they were not done in that time.) Glaze: Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk icing sugar with orange juice; drizzle over warm wreath.
