Erins Blueberry Scones Food

NAME THIS DISH! BLUEBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk the three flours, turbinado sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and lemon zest and work the butter into the flour with your fingers until it is in pea-size pieces. Add the fresh and dried blueberries and toss well.
• Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. Whisk the yogurt and egg in a small bowl, then pour into the well. Stir with a fork until all the flour is moistened, then knead with your hands until the dough comes together.
• Turn out the dough onto a floured surface and pat into a 7-inch round. Cut into 8 wedges; arrange 1 to 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
• Bake the scones until they puff up and are set and golden, about 25 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the pan, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
• Whisk the confectioners' sugar and blueberry juice in a small bowl until thick and smooth. Drizzle over the scones. Let stand until the glaze sets, about 20 minutes.

BLUEBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6 and line a baking tray with parchment. To make the scones, put the flour, baking powder, sugar and lemon zest in a large bowl and mix together to combine. Add the butter and use your fingers to rub into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs (don't rub too thoroughly; some larger lumps are preferable). Add the blueberries and toss together.
• In a small jug, mix together the cream, vanilla and eggs, and pour into the mixture. Use a cutlery knife to stir together until the mixture starts to form a dough. Tip onto the work surface and use your hands to gently knead until the dough just comes together. Lightly flour your work surface and flatten the dough into a disc about 2.5cm thick. Use a sharp knife to cut it into eight triangles.
• Transfer the scones to the prepared baking tray. Beat the remaining egg, then lightly brush it over the top of each scone. Bake in the oven for about 20-25 mins or until deep golden brown. Will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container.

JOANNE CHANG'S MAPLE-BLUEBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, briefly mix both flours, the baking powder, baking soda and salt on low speed. Add half the butter and paddle until fully mixed into the flour, 2 to 3 minutes. (This will coat the flour with butter so the scones are tender.)
• Add the remaining butter to the bowl of the stand mixer. Pulse the mixer three or four times to mix the pieces into the dough while keeping them whole. (This step will give you small pieces of butter in the dough, which will help the scones be a bit flaky.)
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the crème fraîche, maple syrup, buttermilk and yolk until thoroughly mixed. Stir in the blueberries. With the mixer on low, pour the blueberry mixture into the flour mixture, and paddle on low for about 10 seconds to get some of the liquid mixed into the flour. Stop the mixer, and mix the rest of the loose flour into the dough by hand: Gather and lift the dough with your hands and turn it over in the bowl several times until all the loose flour is mixed in. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it well and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or for up to 1 day. (This gives the flour time to fully absorb the liquid.)
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees, and position a rack in the center. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Using a 1/2-cup measuring cup or ice cream scoop, scoop out 8 mounds of chilled dough, and place them on the baking sheet a few inches apart. Bake scones for 35 to 45 minutes, rotating the baking sheet midway through the baking time, until the scones are evenly golden brown and firm when you press them.
• While the scones are baking, make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and enough maple syrup to make a thick, spreadable glaze. Use immediately, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Rewhisk before using.
• As soon as you remove the scones from the oven, use a pastry brush to brush them with the glaze while they're warm. Let cool on the baking sheet for 30 minutes, then serve.
