Berry Scones dry ingredients: 3 cups flour 4 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup of berries, dried* 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1 tsp grated orange peel wet ingredients: 1 single serving container of vanilla yogurt 1 large egg 1&1/2 stick butter, cut up 1 tsp vanilla 1 cup of berries, fresh* *(If you do dried berries, you can bag them with the dry ingredients. Fresh berries go with wet ingredients.) Put flour, baking powder, soda, sugar, orange peel, and salt into a large bowl. Stir to mix well. Add the stick of butter and cut in with a pastry blender or fork, till mixture looks like fine granules. Mix in egg and yogurt with a fork. When it starts to bind, add the berries, if you're working with fresh berries, and work with your hands until a soft dough forms. Turn out onto lightly floured parchment paper and form into a ball. Flatten the ball out to a large disc and cut into 8 wedges (or whatever number you need), but leave them in place on the paper. Place the paper, scones and all, into a 12 inch dutch oven. Bake for 1 hour with ~15 coals on top and ~8-10 on the bottom. Turn oven 90 degrees, then turn the lid 90 degrees every 15 minutes. At the 45 minute mark, melt the half stick of butter and add the vanilla. Open up, and pour over your scones. Replace the lid, and let it go for another 10 minutes or so, then remove from coals. If you need to transfer the scones to a serving dish (it happens), lift the entire works out by the parchment. ENJOY
