Making Scones In Bread Maker Food

EASY FOOD PROCESSOR SCONES

Steps:

• Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a food processor.
• Add in the cold butter cut into smaller pieces and blend until the mixture looks like crumbs.
• In a bowl beat the egg and stir in the heavy cream. Add to the food processor and pulse until it's completely combined and comes together to form a dough. Be careful not to over mix.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and form into a ball. Cut the ball in half. Form each half into a flat disk about 3/4 inch thick. Cut each disk into 6 wedges. Brush with more heavy cream and sprinkle with some sugar.
• Bake at 425 F on a cookie sheet for about 10 minutes, or until the tips of the wedges start to turn golden brown.

SIMPLE SCONES

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a medium bowl, mix flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Grate butter into flour mixture on the large holes of a box grater; use your fingers to work in butter (mixture should resemble coarse meal), then stir in raisins.
• In a small bowl, whisk sour cream and egg until smooth.
• Using a fork, stir sour cream mixture into flour mixture until large dough clumps form. Use your hands to press the dough against the bowl into a ball. (The dough will be sticky in places, and there may not seem to be enough liquid at first, but as you press, the dough will come together.)
• Place on a lightly floured surface and pat into a 7- to 8-inch circle about 3/4-inch thick. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tsp. of sugar. Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 triangles; place on a cookie sheet (preferably lined with parchment paper), about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden, about 15 to 17 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature.
