Let it sit in the bowl and rise from 12-24 hours;
then put the dough on a floured board & fold over a couple of times. Form a ball; place the dough in a greased 2-quart (around a 7-8 inch in diameter) Dutch Oven;

BELLEWEATHER SCONE MIXES

USEFUL TIPS FOR MAKING BELLEWEATHER SCONES

TIME SAVER... Blend the fat into the dry mix with your food processor- 10 seconds will do the job. The oats, oat bran, and corn meal will be refined, creating a finer crumb. If you prefer the more granular taste, you should cut in fat with a knife.

NEED LESS FAT? Applesauce or cottage cheese can be substituted for the fat (same quantity). You can also substitute fruit juice for milk or cream.

MIX EITHER TOO MOIST OR TOO DRY? If, when all the liquid has been blended into the mix, then is flour at the bottom of the bowl, you may either disregard this extra flour, or add a Tbs liquid. On the other hand if the mix is too moist to handle add 1-2 Tbs flour and blend.
