Mothers' Day Brunch
Page 1 of 2
Mother's Day is nearly upon us, and what better way to make her day memorable than to start it off with an exquisite brunch? For this special edition of Webicurean, we'll focus more on the menu and a little less on the related Web sites. All the recipes on this menu serve approximately six people.
A perfect way to start your guests is with a traditional brunch beverage--the Mimosa. You'll want to place your seltzer water and champagne in the refrigerator the night before so that they're well chilled.

If you'd prefer a non-alcoholic beverage to start your meal, Bar None Drink Recipes offers over 100 non-alcoholic recipes.
Nothing tempts the taste buds more than the aroma of freshly baked bread. Surprisingly, scones are very simple to make, yet your guests will marvel over having fresh baked goodies. You'll want to have the scones out of the oven at least 30 minutes before your guests arrive.

CRANBERRY SCONES
|
INGREDIENTS:
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
3 cups all-purpose flour
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 lb (1 stick) cold, unsalted butter, cut up
1 cup cranberries, halved
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp grated orange peel
Preheat oven to 375°. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and egg. Set aside. In a large bowl, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir until blended. Add the butter and cut in with a pastry blender or rub with your fingers until the mixture looks like fine granules. Add the cranberries, sugar and orange peel, tossing until evenly blended. Pour in the buttermilk mixture and stir with a fork until a soft dough forms.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured board and knead for about 30 seconds (really!). Form dough into a ball; cut into 8 wedges. Roll each wedge into a ball and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 20-25 minutes or until medium brown. Cool on a wire rack. Serve warm with lots of butter.
