Fran Neavoll - Salem, Oregon
Bake-Off® Contest 37, 1996 Prize Winner
Followers of the Oregon State Fair know Fran Neavoll as one of the top blue-ribbon winners in baking. Although her fair specialty is cookies, her glazed fruit-filled scones were good enough to make her one of the four contenders for the million-dollar grand prize in 1996.


   SCONES
   2 cups all-purpose flour
   2 tablespoons sugar
   3 teaspoons baking powder
   1 teaspoon salt
   1 1/2 teaspoons grated orange peel
   1/4 cup butter or margarine
   1/3 cup milk
   2 eggs, beaten
   1 cup tropical medley dried fruits or dried fruit bits
   1/2 cup white vanilla baking chips
   
   GLAZE
   1 cup powdered sugar
   2 to 3 tablespoons orange juice
   
   SPREAD
   1/3 cup apricot-pineapple preserves or apricot preserves


Heat oven to 400°F. In large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and orange peel; mix well. With pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add milk and eggs; blend well. Stir in dried fruit and white vanilla chips until well mixed.

On lightly floured surface, knead dough 6 or 7 times until smooth. Divide dough in half. Pat each half into a 6-inch circle. With floured knife, cut each circle into 4 wedges. Place wedges 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake at 400°F. for 12 to 16 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 1 minute.

Meanwhile, in small bowl, combine powdered sugar and enough orange juice for desired drizzling consistency; blend until smooth. Drizzle mixture over top and sides of each scone. Cool 5 minutes. If desired, split each scone and spread with 2 teaspoons preserves or serve preserves with scones. Serve warm.

HIGH ALTITUDE - Above 3,500 feet: Increase flour to 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons. Bake at 400°F. for 14 to 19 minutes or until golden brown.
