Bisquick Buttermilk Scone Recipes

BISQUICK SCONES (EASY RECIPE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a cookie sheet with non-stick spray or shortening or line it with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, combine the Bisquick mix, chocolate chips, whipping cream, sugar, egg, and vanilla until a smooth dough forms.
• Form the dough into an 8-inch circle and place it on the cookie sheet. Brush it with whipping cream and sprinkle with sugar.
• Coat a knife with flour and use it to cut the dough into 8 equal wedges, without slicing all the way through. (You'll bake the entire dough as one large scone.)
• Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Let the scones cool slightly for 5 minutes then transfer onto a cooling rack. Divide into 8 wedges. Serve warm and enjoy!

CRANBERRY-WALNUT SCONES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°. Pour water over cranberries in 1-quart microwavable dish; cover with plastic wrap, folding back one side to vent. Microwave on High 1 minute. Uncover cranberries; cool.
• Mix Bisquick mix, sugar and cinnamon in large bowl. Cut in 3 tablespoons butter, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until mixture looks like fine crumbs. Stir in butter-milk, vanilla, cranberries and walnuts just until moistened.
• Drop dough by 1/4 cupfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Sprinkle with additional sugar if desired. Bake 10 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Brush 1 tablespoon melted butter over warm scones and sprinkle with sugar if desired.

BUTTERMILK SCONES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the flour, salt and butter into a food processor and pulse until you can't feel any lumps of butter (or rub in butter with fingers). Pulse in the sugar.
• Gently warm the buttermilk (don't throw away the pot) and vanilla in a microwave or pan. Using your largest bowl, quickly tip in some of the flour mix, followed by some of the buttermilk mix, repeating until everything is in the bowl. Use a knife to quickly mix together to form a dough - don't over-mix it.
• Tip onto a floured surface and lightly bring together with your hands a couple of times. Press out gently to about 4cm thick and stamp out rounds with a 6cm or 7cm cutter. Re-shape trimmings, until all the dough is used. Spread out on a lightly floured baking sheet or two. Add a splash of milk into the buttermilk pot, then use to glaze the top of each scone. Bake for 10-12 mins until golden and well risen.

BISQUICK BLUEBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Whisk together the baking mix and sugar in a large bowl.
• Mix in the butter with your hands or a pastry blender until the butter is the size of peas.
• Beat the eggs well with the 1/4 cup milk in a small bowl.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and combine until just blended. Do not over mix.
• Gently fold in the blueberries.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat into a 3/4-inch thick square.
• Cut into 4 squares, then cut each square into 2 triangles.
• Arrange the scones on an ungreased baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and let cool a bit before glazing.
• For Glaze: Whisk together the confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth.
• Pour evenly over the warm scones. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.

LOW-FAT BLUEBERRY SCONES (USING HEART HEALTHY BISQUICK MIX)

Steps:

• NOTE: I make these scones using the "Bisquick Heart Healthy" lower fat product, but the nutrition content stated is for Standard Bisquick.
• In a large bowl, gently toss Bisquick Mix, sugar and blueberries. If you have a fresh lemon, you can also add 1 t. lemon ZEST for a great flavor boost. Set aside dry mixture.
• In a 1 cup measure, whisk milk and egg together.
• Pour liquids into Bisquick bowl and use a fork to mix things together gently. Use a large cookie scoop to portion out 8 dollops of dough onto parchment paper.
• Use wet fingers to flatten each scone slightly.
• Bake 400 degrees for 10 minutes or until edges are browning.
• Glaze: Mix lemon juice with Confectioners Sugar to achieve a thin consistency. Drizzle over cooled scones.
• NOTE: Due to low fat content, these probably won't freeze very well, so make them and eat them!
