SCONES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Mix well. Cut in butter and shortening. In a separate bowl, combine cream with beaten egg then add to dry ingredients. Stir in fruit. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Roll dough out and cut into biscuit size rounds. Bake for 15 minutes or until brown.

IRISH BROWN SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F Lightly dust a baking sheet with some flour.
• Put the whole wheat flour and wheat germ into a large mixing bowl. Sift the all-purpose flour, salt and baking soda into the bowl. Mix the ingredients well together with fingers.
• Next, rub in the butter to pea-sized pieces; then mix in the sugar.
• At this stage, put the lightly dusted tin into the oven to preheat.
• Stir in enough buttermilk to make a soft dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead for a few seconds. Cut out scones with a round cookie cutter.
• Put the scones on the preheated baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes or until risen and a golden brown.
• Cool on a wire tray.

BROWN SUGAR SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. Combine the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and cinnamon. Work in butter until small clumps form.
• Add walnuts, and raisins and toss to incorporate.
• Pour the buttermilk into the center of the mixture and stir until dough is just cohesive.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and bring together into a ball. Roll or pat the dough to a 1" thickness. Cut rounds using a 2" round biscuit cutter and transfer to parchment lined baking sheet.
• Or, pat into a square and cut square scones.
• Freeze for 15 minutes.
• Brush scones with cream, and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake until they begin to brown, 20 to 22 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack.

BROWN SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 230°C.
• In a big bowl mix all dry ingredients.
• Add milk and water and add-ins of your choice. Using your fingers knead into an elastic dough (be careful not to over knead it). If you need more flour just add it and if you need more liquid add more water or milk.
• Flatten the dough to desired thickness and cut out scones of desired size (I use a 7.5 cm round glass for cutting).
• Place scones on a paper-lined baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

BROWN SUGAR WHEAT SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer), mix the flours, salt, sugar and baking powder at low speed. With the mixer running, add the butter and mix until coarse and sandy. Add the milk and mix until almost combined, then add the currants and mix just to distribute them evenly through the dough. Do not overmix; there may still be some flour not mixed in. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough 10 times. With a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the dough 1-inch thick. With a biscuit or cookie cutter or a clean empty can, cut out circles about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet with a spatula. Knead the scraps together just until combined, then roll out again and continue cutting out circles until all the dough is used up. Brush the tops of the scones with cream and sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake until light golden brown, about 15 minutes.

PEACHES 'N' CREAM SCONES

Steps:

• For the scones: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grate the frozen butter into a bowl using a box grater. Combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the peaches and toss in the flour to coat. Add the butter and toss to combine.
• Stir together the heavy cream, sour cream, egg, vanilla and almond extracts in a medium bowl. Slowly add the cream mixture to the flour mixture, and mix just until a dough comes together. (Make sure not to overwork).
• Turn the dough out onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and shape into a 9-inch disc, about 1 inch thick. Score the dough into 8 wedges, using a knife to cut into but not all the way through the dough. Brush the tops of the scones with cream. Bake until the scones are cooked through and golden brown on top, 20 to 25 minutes. Cut into wedges, then remove to a wire rack to cool until warm.
• Meanwhile, make the glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, cream, vanilla, almond extract and salt in a small bowl. Spoon the glaze over the scones before serving.

BROWN GRIDDLE SCONES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together both flours, oatmeal, salt, and baking soda. Add buttermilk and stir until mixture is the consistency of a thick batter.
• Preheat a griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add enough clarified butter to lightly coat. Drop 3 tablespoons batter onto the griddle and cook, turning once, until golden and risen, 5 to 6 minutes per side.
• Remove scones from heat and keep covered with a clean kitchen towel until ready to serve; serve warm.

• Remove butter/shortening and flour mixture from freezer, With a pastry blender cut butter/shortening into flour mixture until mixture resembles coarse meal with a few slightly larger butter lumps.
• (This can also be done in a food processor, just be sure to refrigerate the bowl for 15 mins before starting) Add nut/brown sugar mixture to flour/butter mixture, toss lightly with a wooden spoon to combine (if using a food processor, pulse until combined) Make a well in the center and pour in cream/buttermilk/vanilla mixture.

• (do not over-mix or scones will be tough).
• (Once again, if using the food processor pulse till just combined).
• Turn dough onto your cold, floured, work board.
• Dough will be a crumbly mess, work it gently, turning no-more than four times, and lightly press it into a rectangle (5x10x1/2” thick).
• Cut rectangle in half into two 5x5’s, then each half into two 2 ½ x 5’s forming four quarters.
• Cut each quarter diagonally and place wedges 1 inch apart on a light colored non-stick baking sheet.
• Bake until scones are lightly brown, 10 to 12 minutes.

DROP SCONES

Steps:

• Sieve the flour into a bowl, and add the baking powder, sugar and ½ tsp of salt. Whisk the egg and milk together in a jug, then pour into the bowl and whisk for a few minutes until you make a smooth thick batter.
• Add a drizzle of oil to a hot plate or large frying pan, and spread using a piece of kitchen paper. Heat the pan over a medium heat, and once hot, drop 2 tbsp of the batter into the pan to make small pancakes. You will be able to make about 4-5 at a time.
• Cook the pancakes for 2-3 mins until the edges are set, and bubbles rise from the middle. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter, keeping the cooked ones warm in a low oven, if you like. Add another drizzle of oil to the pan when needed.
