Monkey Bread

from Joan Lacy Fitzsimmons

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 Tablespoons sugar

1/3 cup butter or margarine

1/2 cup sour cream

1 large egg, lightly beaten

2/3 cups currants (optional)

2 teaspoons milk

1 Tablespoon sugar

Strawberry Butter Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter, softened

2-1/2 Tablespoons strawberry preserves

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar in medium bowl; stir well. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until mixture is crumbly. Add sour cream and egg, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened. Stir in currants if desired.

Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead lightly 4 to 5 times. Pat dough to an 8 inch circle on a greased baking sheet. Brush top with milk; sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar. Cut circle into 8 wedges, using a sharp knife; separate the wedges slightly.

Bake at 400 degrees for 14 to 16 minutes or until lightly browned.

Serve scones warm with Strawberry Butter.

Yield: 8 scones

Strawberry Butter: Beat butter at medium speed of an electric mixer until creamy or beat vigorously with wooden spoon. Stir in the preserves.

Yield: 1/2 cup
