Cranberry Eggnog Scones Food

CRANBERRY EGGNOG CORNBREAD SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
• Stir the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a mixing bowl until blended. Cut in the butter using a pastry cutter or two knives until coarse crumbs form. Mix in the craisins. Use a fork to stir in the eggnog and make a sticky dough.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface; dip hands in flour and knead the dough about 10 times. Pat the dough out into a disk about 1/2 inch thick. Dip a 2 inch diameter biscuit cutter into some flour, and cut out 8 to 10 rounds. Place rounds about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet. Use up remaining dough by patting it into a smaller disk and cutting again.
• Bake in preheated oven until risen and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CRANBERRY EGGNOG SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Mix flour, oats, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a large mixing bowl. Cut in butter until mixture looks crumbly. Mix in cranberries, pecans, and orange zest until evenly distributed. Stir in eggnog.
• Turn dough out on a well floured surface and cut into 2 pieces. Keep sprinkling on flour if needed. Form each piece into a disk and gently pat each disk into a round about 6 inches in diameter. Sprinkle each disk with coarse sparkling sugar. Cut each round into 8 wedges using a bench scraper or sharp knife. Cut straight down through the dough so you shear the edges; this helps the scones rise. Don't separate the wedges.
• Transfer dough circles to the prepared baking sheet. Separate the wedges slightly; there should be about 1 inch between the wider edges.
• Bake in the preheated oven until scones are just beginning to brown, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a bowl by hand or using an electric mixer, blend together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and butter.
• Add the half and half, beaten egg, cranberries (I like the dried ones), and the white chocolate chips, and stir until the dough holds together.
• Turn out onto a lightly floured board and knead for 2 minutes.
• Form into a 1/2-inch thick round, then cut the round into 8 wedges (you can also make two smaller rounds of smaller wedges, if you like).
• Spray a baking sheet with vegetable oil, then transfer the wedges to the sheet.
• Bake the scones at 400 degrees F for 14 minutes or until golden brown.
