Blueberry And Ginger Scones Recipes

BLUEBERRY GINGER LEMON SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer, mix 2 cups flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and lemon zest. With the mixer on low, drop in the cold pieces of butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup heavy cream and the eggs. Pour into the mixing bowl with the flour mixture, along with the chopped crystallized ginger, and mix just until blended but still lumpy.
• Toss the blueberries with the remaining 2 tablespoons flour. Then using a spatula or wooden spoon, fold the blueberries into the dough to combine and evenly mix throughout.
• Gather the dough with your hands, shaping it into a ball. Then place the dough onto the center of the prepared baking sheet. Using a rolling pin dusted with flour, gently flatten the dough into a circle about ¾" thick.
• With a long knife, cut the circle of dough into 8 even wedges.Then, using a spatula and starting from the outer edge of the circle, gently loosen each wedge and pull slightly away from the center. (Once you are done with this step, you will still have a circle of 8 wedges, but there will be a little bit of space between each wedge.
• Brush the tops of each wedge with the remaining 1 tablespoon of heavy cream (just enough to moisten the tops) then sprinkle with the sparkling sugar.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes or until tops are golden and the inside of the scones are fully baked. Remove from the oven and cool for 15 minutes. Then using a knife, cut through to loosen each scone wedge.
• When the scones are cooled, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together confectioner's sugar and lemon juice. Drizzle over the cooled scones. Allow the glaze to set before serving.

HEALTHY BLUEBERRY GINGER SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and lemon zest.
• With two knives or a pastry cutter, cut in the butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Do not over process!
• Stir in the ginger and blueberries.
• Add the lemon extract and tablespoon by tablespoon, mix in the lemon juice. Just add enough so that the dough holds together. If you add too much lemon juice, the scones will come out muffin-like. Some days I need 3 tablespoons and sometimes I need up to 6.
• On a piece of parchment paper or Silpat, form a circle of dough, about 3/4" thick.
• Cut out 8 triangular scones.
• Place the scones a few inches apart on the parchment paper or Silpat and sprinkle the sugar over the top, if using.
• Place the scones about 2" apart.
• Bake until the scones are slightly brown, about 12 - 15 minutes.
• Remove the scones from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes on the pan.
• Serve immediately.
