Strawberry And Rosemary Scones Recipes

STRAWBERRY AND ROSEMARY SCONES

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
• In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, rosemary, salt, and butter until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. With the machine running, gradually pour in the heavy cream and process until the mixture forms a dough.
• On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough into a 10-inch circle that's 1/2 inch thick. Using a 3-inch heart-shaped or similarly sized cookie cutter, cut out pieces of dough and place on the prepared baking sheet. Gently knead together any leftover pieces of dough and roll out to 1/2 inch thick. Cut the dough with the cutter and place on the baking sheet. Using your index finger or a small, round measuring spoon, gently make an indentation in the center of each scone. Spoon a heaped 1/2 teaspoon of jam into each indentation.
• Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the edges of the scones are golden brown. Transfer the cooked scones onto a wire rack. Cool for 30 minutes.
• In a medium bowl, mix together the lemon juice and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Gradually add 1 to 2 tablespoons water until the mixture is thin enough to drizzle. Using a spoon, drizzle the glaze over the scones. Place the scones on a wire rack for about 30 minutes until the glaze has set. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Cook's Note
• The dough can also be made by hand by stirring together the flour, sugar, baking powder, rosemary, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the butter. Using your fingertips or a pastry blender, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Gradually stir in the heavy cream until the mixture forms a dough.

STRAWBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine 4 cups of flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, and salt. Blend in the cold butter at the lowest speed and mix until the butter is in pea-sized pieces. Combine the eggs and heavy cream and quickly add them to the flour and butter mixture. Combine until just blended. Toss the strawberries with 1 tablespoon of flour, add them to the dough, and mix quickly. The dough may be a bit sticky.
• Dump the dough out onto a well-floured surface and be sure it is well combined. Flour your hands and a rolling pin and roll the dough 3/4-inch thick. You should see lumps of butter in the dough. Cut into squares with a 4-inch plain or fluted cutter, and then cut them in half diagonally to make triangles. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Brush the tops with egg wash. Sprinkle with sugar and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the outsides are crisp and the insides are fully baked.
