Blueberry And Lemon Verbena Sorbet Recipes

LEMON VERBENA-BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups, or line pan with paper muffin liners. Whisk together the egg, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth; set aside.
• Place the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and lemon verbena into a food processor. Pulse until the lemon verbena has been finely chopped. Add the butter, and pulse quickly until finely chopped. Pour the flour mixture into a mixing bowl, and stir in the blueberries. Pour in the milk mixture, and stir until just moistened. Fill the prepared muffin cups 3/4 full.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the tops spring back when lightly pressed, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.

LEMON VERBENA BLUEBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat.
• Stir the egg and cream together in a small bowl.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl.
• In a separate bowl add the sugar, lemon zest, and lemon verbena leaves. Rub everything together with your fingers to bring out the lemon flavor.
• Stir lemon mixture into the flour mixture. Add the butter to the flour/lemon sugar mixture. Using your fingers, toss to coat the pieces of butter with flour. Quickly, working with your fingertips or a pastry blender, cut and rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture is pebbly. You will have some little butter clumps and some larger clumps-the size of peas.
• Pour the egg and cream over the dry ingredients and stir with a fork just until the dough comes together. It will be sticky. Don't over mix. Still in the bowl, gently knead the dough by hand, 8 to 10 times.
• Gently fold in the blueberries.
• Lightly dust a work surface with flour and turn out the dough. Divide it in half. Working with one piece at a time, pat the dough into a rough circle that's about 5 inches in diameter, cut it into wedges or use a round cookie cutter and cut out the scones.
• Brush the scones with cream and sprinkle Turbinado sugar on top.
• Bake the scones for 20 to 22 minutes, or until their tops are golden brown. Transfer them to a rack and cool.
• Glaze with my lemon glaze recipe #411928, if desired.
• These are best eaten warm and on the day they are made.
