I got this recipe off the packaging for my mini-scone pan (made my Nordic Ware I think), but you can make these without the pan. I've adjusted the flavorings to my liking. Enjoy. Ingredients:
2 cups flour |
1/4 cup sugar |
3 teasp baking powder |
1/2 teasp salt |
8 tbsp butter, chilled, cut into pieces |
1/2 cup dried fruit, cut into small pieces (i prefer diced tart dried cherries) |
1 egg |
1/2 cup heavy cream |
flavoring like zest or extract (i used a couple teaspoons of almond extract) |
granulated or turbinado sugar for sprinkling |
Directions:
1. Preheat Oven to 350oF and lightly grease mini scone pan.
2. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. If using a food processor pulse to combine, or just stir.
3. Add the butter in small pieces and using a pasty blender or food processor until the mixture resembles pea-size crumbs.
4. Add dried fruit to flour mixture. Mix to coat.
5. In a small bowl, comine egg and heavy cream (I added ~1/2 tsp. Almond extract). Whisk to combine. Add to flour mixture.
6. Using a fork, combine to form large clumps.
7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and press together with your hands until the dough comes together.
8. Roll out the dough into a 9 square about 1/4 thick. Cut into four squares and cut each square into four triangles.
9. Press each piece into a well of a well prepared pan. Sprinkle each scone lightly with sugar.
10. Bake until the scones are golden, about 25 minute.
11. Invert the pan onto a wire rack and lift off the pan. Let the scones cool for 10 minutes before serving.
