Cranberry Chocolate Chip Scones Recipes

CRANBERRY CHOCOLATE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°. Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
• Coarsely chop the cranberries with a knife on a cutting board or in the food processor fitted with the metal blade. If using the food processor, wipe out the bowl before proceeding.
• In the bowl of a food processor fitted with metal blade, measure in the flour and sugar. Secure the lid and pulse briefly to mix.
• Add the butter pieces and process until coarse crumbs are formed. (If you do not have a food processor, the same effect can be achieved in a mixing bowl with a pastry blender, fork, or two table knives held together.)
• Pour the crumb mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add the cranberries and chocolate chips. Toss to coat.
• No need to wash the processor bowl. In the bowl, combine the buttermilk, eggs, and 1 teaspoon of the vanilla extract. Or whisk them together in a mixing bowl.
• Slowly pour the wet ingredients into dry crumb mixture and stir quickly, just until a shaggy dough forms. Overmixing will result in tough scones.
• Empty the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead three or four times with floury hands. The dough will be sticky.
• Shape dough into a large, flat rectangle. Cut into 12 squares. Separate the squares carefully. Alternatively, you can cut out 24 2-inch rounds with a cutter. Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, allowing about an inch of space between them.
• Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool slightly on a rack while you prepare the glaze.
• To prepare the glaze, combine the powdered sugar, remaining 1 teaspoon extract and the milk. Add more milk if necessary to create a drizzling texture.
• Drizzle the glaze over the slightly warm scones. Allow the glaze to set before serving.
• Store the scones in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a food processor; add butter and process until the resulting mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Transfer mixture to a large mixing bowl.
• Stir chocolate chips and cranberries into the flour mixture. Add almond milk 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing it into the flour mixture with your hands or a spoon.
• Whisk almond milk and vanilla extract together in a small bowl and stir into the mixture with the final addition of almond milk, kneading the resulting dough by hand until it begins to come together, adding extra almond milk as needed to make it moist enough to be workable.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll into 11 golf ball-sized spheres and flatten so they resemble a pancake about 3/4-inch thick; arrange onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes.
