"Received the Cook Book in today's mail. Thank you! What a delight! I immediately sat down and read it cover to cover. It was just like going home to Arizona. Juli said the only thing missing was the scratch and sniff pages." - Jill Hasbrouck, New York

 


Wrangler Bacon and Eggs

Jane Nash
Serves 6

What a way to start the week! Guests ask for this recipe more than any other. We serve them with Robin’s scones.

9 strips bacon, cooked almost crisp
6 tablespoons salsa
6 eggs
½ cup grated cheddar cheese

In muffin tin spray well and lay 1 strip bacon around inside of muffin well. Put small piece of bacon in bottom of each tin. Add 1 tablespoon salsa to each cup and break egg on top. Sprinkle cheese on top. Bake 15-20 minutes at 350º until egg is done to your liking.


Triple Fruit Scones
Robin Essner, Wickenburg, Arizona
Serves 12 (1 scone per serving)

Robin brought these scones to the ranch, and we’ve kept them on the breakfast menu
ever since.

3 cups flour
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ - ½ teaspoon salt
1 orange, zest grated
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/3 cup dried apricots chopped
1/3 cup dried cranberries chopped
½ cup walnuts chopped
¾ - 1 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon sugar

Preheat oven to 400º. In medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and zest. Cut the butter with a fork or two knives, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in apricots, cranberries, and walnuts. Combine buttermilk with the dry mixture, stirring only until blended.

Turn out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead gently just until the dough holds together. Divide into 3 equal portions and pat each into a 1” thick round that is about 6” in diameter. With a knife cut each round into quarters, making 4 wedges. Place onto a slightly sprayed cookie sheet about 1” apart. Sprinkle the tops with the 1 tablespoon sugar. Bake in oven until crusty and golden brown (about 15-20 minutes).
