Frankenpastries

In March, the New York Times reported of the new surge in creativity in American bakeries inspired by the Cronut: A croissant-doughnut like pastry that is all the rave in NY.
In the Bay Area, California, the Scuffin is on the list at Farmers' Markets. The Scuffin has the shape of a muffin but the soft flaky dough of a scone- and, like a jelly doughnut, it encloses a shot of sweet fruit in the middle.
A recipe for the Scuffin follows and was adapted from Frog Hollow Farm, Brentwood Ca.
It is very easy to make and even rather healthy, with whole grain flour, flaxseeds and minimal butter. The warm spices (cinnamon, cardamon) can be switched out for others ( nutmeg, ginger, allspice ).
As for fruits,  you have an endless selection and is an excellent way to clean out 1/2 jars in the refrigerator.
