Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (560 mL)
  • 1/3 cup sugar (75 mL)
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder (15 mL)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (2 mL)
  • 1 large Countryside Farm Vita Egg (1)
  • 1/2 cup milk, plus extra for brushing (125 mL)
  • 1/3 cup canola oil (75 mL)
  • 3/4 cup fresh or frozen berries (not thawed) or chopped stone fruit (175 mL)
  • 1 Tbsp coarse sugar (15 mL)

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 ̊F (220 ̊C).
  2. In a large bowl, stir together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Crack egg into a measuring cup, stir with a fork and add enough milk to make 3/4 cup (175 mL). Add to dry ingredients along with canola oil and stir a few strokes, until partially combined. Add fruit and stir just until dough comes together.
  4. On a parchment-lined baking sheet, pat dough into a circle about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick, and cut into 8 wedges with a knife. Separate wedges and distribute them evenly on baking sheet. Brush tops with a bit more milk and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a deep golden colour.
