I mangle pastry dough when I use the food processor, but I'm glad it worked for you. Speaking of Ann's scones, I started to make them the other day when my daugtter was in town, and asked her whether she'd prefer blueberries or raspberries. Well, turned out she doesn't like fruit in pastries or muffins, other than pies. What to do, since I had the dough prepared. I decided to add cinnamon and some chopped, toasted walnuts. I don't remember if I added any other spices, but they turned out quite tasty, and she loved them. So, Ann's basic scone recipe is quite adaptable. Thanks, Ann! Sally
