RHUBARB SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, whisk the first 6 ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add rhubarb; toss to coat., In another bowl, whisk cream, milk and vanilla; stir into crumb mixture just until moistened., Turn onto a floured surface; knead gently 4-5 times. Divide dough in half; pat into two 6-in. circles. Cut each into 8 wedges. Place wedges on parchment-lined baking sheets; sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake 18-22 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm.

HONEY SCONES WITH RHUBARB COMPOTE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C/180°C fan/gas 6 and line a baking tray with baking parchment.
• Place the rhubarb in a saucepan with the sugar and orange juice. Simmer over a medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb pieces have completely broken down and the mixture is thick and sticky. Spoon into a small jar or ramekin and leave to cool.
• To make the scones, place the flour in a large bowl and add the cubes of butter. Quickly rub the butter into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and make a well in the centre.
• Pour the honey into the centre of the well, then gradually add the milk, stirring it into the mixture using a round-ended knife. A soft, rough dough will form. Tip the dough out on to a lightly floured worktop and knead very briefly to smooth out the dough. Over-handling the dough will make your scones tough and flat, so knead as little as possible.
• Gently roll the dough out to a thickness of around 3cm (1 inch). Cut into rounds using a 6cm (2 1/3-inch) pastry cutter, cutting straight down and not twisting, as twisting prevents the scones from rising properly. Very gently re-roll the remaining dough, taking care not to handle it too much, and punch out more scones-you should get 9 in total. Arrange the scones on the lined baking tray and brush the tops with a little extra honey.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes or until risen and golden brown. Serve warm from the oven, split in half, with big dollops of clotted cream and rhubarb compote.

RHUBARB SCONE CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F Butter a 10 inch deep-dish pie dish and set aside.
• For the dough sift together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt into a large bowl.
• Work in butter using your finger tips until dough resembles coarse cornmeal.
• Gradually add buttermilk folding the wet and dry ingredients together until a soft dough forms (you may have to add a little water).
• Turn out onto a floured surface and knead lightly just until the dough comes together (do not overwork it or it will be tough).
• Divide dough into two equal portions. Roll out half of the dough into a 12 inch round and place in pie dish.
• For the filling combine rhubarb and sugar in a bowl and stir to mix well.
• Pour filling into the pie dish.
• Roll out the remaining dough into another 12 inch round to from a pastry lid. Brush the rim of the bottom crust with water and put on the lid. Press together to seal.
• Brush the glaze evenly over the top crust and then sprinkle lightly and evenly with sugar (I used cinnamon sugar and thought it was great!). Cut 3-4 steam slits into the top of the pie.
• Bake until the crust is golden brown and the fruit tender for about 50 minutes.

RHUBARB & CUSTARD SCONES

Steps:

• Mix the flour, custard powder, ¼ tsp fine salt, the baking powder and sugar together in a large bowl. Rub the butter into the dry ingredients using your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
• Gradually mix in the milk using your hands until you have a smooth dough - you may not need it all. Gently roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to a 2cm thickness. Transfer to a baking tray lined with baking parchment, cover and chill for 30 mins to firm up, or up to 1 hr if you want to get ahead.
• Meanwhile, make the rhubarb compote. Tip all the ingredients into a large saucepan along with 2 tbsp water (omit the water if you're using frozen rhubarb). Simmer over a medium heat for 10-15 mins, stirring occasionally until the rhubarb has softened and is almost collapsing, and the mixture has thickened. If you're using frozen rhubarb, you may like to stir in a drop of red food colouring to enhance the pink colour. Transfer the compote to a bowl and leave to cool completely.
• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and remove the dough from the fridge. Line a baking tray with baking parchment. Stamp out three or four scones from the dough using a 7cm round biscuit cutter (see tip below). Arrange the scones on the prepared tray, leaving a 2cm gap between each.
• Roll the remaining dough out again as in step two, then stamp out as many scones as you can (you should get about six in total). Transfer these to the tray as well, then brush all the scones with the beaten egg (see tip below). Bake for 10-12 mins until the tops are golden brown, then leave to cool completely on the tray. Serve with the rhubarb compote and clotted cream. Best eaten the day they're made.
