Pumpkin Cranberry Scones With Whipped Maple Butter Recipes

CHERRY SCONES WITH WHIPPED MAPLE BUTTER

Steps:

• For the scones: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Whisk together the heavy cream, sour cream and vanilla in a small bowl; set aside.
• Pulse the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture looks like fine meal. Transfer to a large bowl, add the cherries and toss until the cherries are coated. Pour in the heavy cream mixture and mix with a spatula until just combined.
• Lightly flour a work surface and dump the dough onto it. Pat out the dough into a 1/2-inch-thick circle and cut into 12 wedges. Transfer the wedges to the lined baking sheet with a spatula, brush the tops generously with cream and sprinkle each with about 1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar. Bake until puffed and golden brown around the edges, about 18 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
• For the marmalade: Combine the orange and granulated sugar in a food processor and process until finely pureed. Transfer the mixture to a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to a rapid simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and set into a large bowl filled with ice water. Stir until the marmalade is cooled to room temperature.
• For the maple butter: Combine the butter, brown sugar, maple syrup and salt in a medium bowl and whisk until well combined.
• Serve the scones with the maple butter and marmalade.
