Raspberry White Chocolate Scone Loaf Food

RASPBERRY & WHITE CHOCOLATE SCONES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Mix the flour, salt, baking powder and sugar in a bowl, then rub the butter into the dry ingredients using your fingertips, until it looks like fine breadcrumbs. You can also gradually pulse it in a food processor until it resembles breadcrumbs. Gently fold in 75g of the white chocolate.
• Gradually stir the milk into the flour mixture, and use your hands to bring it together until you have a smooth dough. You may need to add an extra 15-20ml milk until you have a soft dough. Gently stir in the raspberries. Working quickly so the raspberries don't completely melt, lightly dust a baking sheet lined with non-stick baking parchment and the top of the dough with flour. Gently roll out the dough to a 2cm-thick circle (ours was 22cm). Cut into 8-10 triangles, like a pizza, spreading them all out so they're about 5cm apart but still in a circle.
• Bake for 18-20 mins until golden brown. Set aside to cool. Melt the remaining white chocolate either in a bowl over a pan of gently simmering water, or in 20-second bursts in the microwave. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the scones before serving.

WHITE CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Sprinkle the frozen raspberries with flour and put them back in the freezer until you incorporate them into the mixture.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
• Work in the grated butter with a fork just until the mixture is incorporated.
• Add in the chopped white chocolate.
• In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond extract, and heavy whipping cream.
• Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until all is moistened and holds together.
• Gently mix in the frozen raspberries, folding the dough 3-4 times. There will be some bleeding into the dough and that is ok! (I prefer it!)
• Line a baking sheet with parchment. Sprinkle a bit of flour on top of the parchment or pan.
• Scrape the dough onto the floured parchment or pan, and make a circle. The circle should be about ¾ inch thick.
• Place the pan of uncut scones in the freezer for 30-60 minutes, uncovered. (Chilling the scones helps to relax the gluten in the flour, which makes the scones tender and helps to ensure they will rise higher. It also chills the fat, which will make the scones a bit flakier.)
• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• After the scones have chilled, use a knife or bench scraper and slice the circle into 6-8 wedges. (I prefer 8)
• Carefully pull the wedges away from the center to separate them just a bit; there should be about 1/2 inch space between them.
• Brush on the heavy cream (making sure to cover the sides) and sprinkle the turbinado sugar.
• Bake the scones in the middle of your oven for 18-23 minutes.
• Remove the scones from the oven, and cool briefly on the pan. Serve warm.

RASPBERRY-WHITE CHOCOLATE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
• Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner.
• Place fresh raspberries about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 4 hours, then turn oven off, leaving the berries inside for 8 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner.
• Roughly chop dried raspberries into smaller pieces and measure out ½ cup for this recipe. Reserve any extra for another use.
• Grate white chocolate on the fine side of a grater until you have ½ cup.
• Whisk 2 cups flour, sugar, salt, and baking powder together in a mixing bowl. Grate cold butter into the flour mixture, tossing every so often to coat it with flour so it doesn't start to clump. When all butter has been added, work it into the flour with a pastry blender. Add grated white chocolate and toss with a fork to incorporate.
• Whisk ¾ cup milk and sour cream together in a liquid measure, then pour that into the flour mixture. Mix with a fork until everything just barely comes together to form a shaggy dough.
• Transfer dough to a generously floured work surface and without kneading, push and pack it together with your hands until it holds its shape, adding a little flour if it's too sticky. Press dough into a rectangle, about ¾-inch thick, and roughly twice as long as it is wide.
• Sprinkle dried raspberries evenly over the dough. Spread berries out almost to the edges and press them into the dough gently. Using a bench scraper, lift one third of the dough from one of the shorter edges and fold it in over the center third; press it down and square off the edges. Repeat with the other side so your scone dough is three layers thick.
• Cut the rectangle in half with the bench scraper, then cut each half into 2 triangles. Transfer scones to the prepared baking sheet.
• Whisk egg and 1 tablespoon milk together. Brush egg wash over each scone and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake in the upper center of the preheated oven until browned, about 25 minutes.
• Quickly and carefully transfer to a rack and let cool completely before serving, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda together in a large mixing bowl. Grate in frozen butter and stir well, making sure butter doesn't stick together. Stir in raspberries and white chocolate chips. Mix in yogurt, egg, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until combined, making sure not to overmix dough.
• Place dough on a floured surface. Cut scones out using a large biscuit cutter ad place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove scones from the oven and sprinkle tops with confectioners' sugar.
• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Broil scones in the hot oven until sugar melts, about 30 seconds. Remove from the oven and let cool before enjoying.
