Rose water lends a subtle floral flavor to the scones; it can be found at some supermarkets, specialty foods stores, and Middle Eastern markets. Ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour |
1/3 cup sugar |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
5 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces |
1 cup plus 3 tablespoons whipping cream |
1/3 cup (about) raspberry jam (do not use seedless) |
1/2 cup powdered sugar |
1/4 teaspoon rose water (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in large bowl. Add butter; rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles fine meal. Gradually add 1 cup cream, mixing until dough comes together. Turn dough out onto sheet of foil; pat to 1/2-inch thickness. Using 3-inch heart-shaped or round cookie cutter, cut out scones. Gather scraps; pat to 1/2-inch thickness and cut out additional scones. Using floured knife, start at point of each heart and cut horizontally halfway through scones; fill with 1 generous teaspoon jam (jam will show at edges). Transfer to baking sheet. Bake scones until brown, about 18 minutes. Transfer to rack; cool scones until slightly warm.
2. Meanwhile, mix powdered sugar, remaining 3 tablespoons cream, and rose water in bowl to blend. Spread glaze over scones. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
