Mango And White Chocolate Scones Recipes

MANGO AND WHITE CHOCOLATE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°
• Chop the dried mango into about 1/2 inch pieces using knife or kitchen scissors, place in a small bowl. Cover mangoes with hot water (from the tap is fine). Let mangoes sit while prepping other steps. (For instructions on using unsweetened dried or fresh mango, see notes 1 - 2.)
• Mix the flour, sugar, salt and baking powder together in a medium bowl.
• Add the white chocolate chips to the flour mixture. Drain the mangoes and squeeze out some of the moisture. The mangoes should still be wet but not dripping. Add the mangoes to the flour mixture. Pour the cream into the flour mixture.
• Stir the mixture together with a wooden spoon. Once the cream has been absorbed, you can use your hands to help incorporate any dry flour into the dough if necessary. Dough should still be shaggy (not a smooth ball).
• Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet (see note 3). Place dough in the middle of the baking sheet, and use your hands to press the dough into a disk about 8 inches across and 1 inch tall.
• Cut the disk into 8 wedges with a large knife. If the dough is sticking to your knife, dip your knife in flour before cutting. Spread each piece at least 1 inch apart on the baking sheet.
• Bake for 15 minutes or until the edges of the scones are lightly browned. Let cool on baking sheet before eating.

WHITE CHOCOLATE SCONES

Steps:

• Lightly grease a baking pan and preheat oven to 400°.
• In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients.
• Cut the butter into small pieces and incorporate into the flour mixture with a pastry cutter, or a fork, until evenly incorporated.
• In a separate bowl, beat the egg and buttermilk together and stir lightly into the flour mixture.
• Mix in the chips.
• Knead dough together, just until mixed.
• This is a fairly wet dough-do not add too much flour or handle too much or the scones will get tough.
• On a lightly floured surface, pat or roll the dough out to about 1-inch thick.
• Cut with a round 2-inch floured cookie cutter.
• Place on a baking sheet and bake about 15 minutes, or until scones are a light golden brown.
• Serve with jam and whipped cream.
