Apple Walnut Drop Scones Recipes

APPLE-WALNUT DROP SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Sift together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt. Dump anything remaining in the sifter into the bowl with the sifted ingredients. Place in a food processor fitted with the steel blade or in a standing mixer fitted with the paddle. Add the walnut oil, butter and lemon zest and mix at medium speed or pulse in the food processor until the mixture is crumbly.
• Combine the buttermilk and vanilla, and with the machine running, add the liquid to the flour mixture. Mix just until the ingredients come together. Stop the machine and add the apple and walnuts, then mix or pulse to combine.
• Drop by heaped tablespoons onto the baking sheet and bake 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from the heat and allow to cool, or serve warm.

APPLE CINNAMON SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C), with racks in the upper and lower thirds. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Add the butter and toss to coat the cubes with flour. Cut the butter into the flour by rubbing it between your forefingers and thumbs until the butter pieces are between the size of peas and walnut halves. Add the chopped apples and toss gently to combine.
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the cream. Toss the mixture with your fingers to combine, then knead gently to ensure everything is evenly moistened.
• Scoop 1/4-cup mounds of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets (I do this by hand because I like them to look craggy, but you can use a No. 16 (1/4-cup scoop)), leaving at least 1 1/2 inches between them. Brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash and sprinkle generously with turbinado sugar.
• Bake the scones, switching the sheets from front to back and top to bottom at the halfway mark, for 20 to 22 minutes, until the tops and edges are golden brown. The scones can be served warm or at room temperature.
