Brown Sugar Scones Recipes

SCONES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar. Mix well. Cut in butter and shortening. In a separate bowl, combine cream with beaten egg then add to dry ingredients. Stir in fruit. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Roll dough out and cut into biscuit size rounds. Bake for 15 minutes or until brown.

BROWN SUGAR WHEAT SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
• In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer), mix the flours, salt, sugar and baking powder at low speed. With the mixer running, add the butter and mix until coarse and sandy. Add the milk and mix until almost combined, then add the currants and mix just to distribute them evenly through the dough. Do not overmix; there may still be some flour not mixed in. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough 10 times. With a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the dough 1-inch thick. With a biscuit or cookie cutter or a clean empty can, cut out circles about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet with a spatula. Knead the scraps together just until combined, then roll out again and continue cutting out circles until all the dough is used up. Brush the tops of the scones with cream and sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake until light golden brown, about 15 minutes.

BROWN SUGAR SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. Combine the flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, and cinnamon. Work in butter until small clumps form.
• Add walnuts, and raisins and toss to incorporate.
• Pour the buttermilk into the center of the mixture and stir until dough is just cohesive.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and bring together into a ball. Roll or pat the dough to a 1" thickness. Cut rounds using a 2" round biscuit cutter and transfer to parchment lined baking sheet.
• Or, pat into a square and cut square scones.
• Freeze for 15 minutes.
• Brush scones with cream, and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake until they begin to brown, 20 to 22 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack.

BROWN SUGAR AND CINNAMON SCONES

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, and cinnamon. You may have a few brown sugar lumps; that's fine. Work in the butter with a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, heavy cream, and vanilla.
• Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients in. With a wooden spoon, stir just until a dough forms.
• Turn dough onto a floured surface and form into a disc about 1-inch tall. Cut into 8 wedges.
• Bake on an ungreased cookie sheet (a cookie sheet lined with a silpat is great, too) at 350 degrees for about 12 - 14 minutes until the scones begin to brown on the bottom.
• Remove from oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

BROWN SUGAR AND APPLE SPICE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet. Mix white sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon together in a small bowl; set aside.
• Mix flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda together in a large bowl. Cut in butter with 2 knives or a pastry blender until crumbly. Mix in apples, ginger, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon; stir until a soft dough forms. If dough is dry, add more apple.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead lightly and divide in half; pat into 2 equal circles. Place on the prepared baking sheet; brush with milk and sprinkle with reserved cinnamon-sugar. Score each circle into 8 wedges.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden about 15 minutes.
