Orange And Cranberry Scones Recipe Recipe For Shrimp

CRANBERRY-ORANGE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Combine flour, butter, white sugar, baking powder, salt, and orange zest in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until butter is pea-sized or smaller. Pour buttermilk and 1/2 of the orange juice in slowly, with the processor running, until dough is sticky and all flour is absorbed. Mix in dried cranberries until evenly distributed. Reserve remaining orange juice for the icing.
• Place dough on a lightly floured surface and gently roll to a thickness of about 1 inch. Cut dough into 12 triangles with a knife (or use a biscuit cutter for circles) and transfer to a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
• While the scones are baking, combine reserved orange juice and 1 cup powdered sugar for icing. Stir to desired consistency, adding more powdered sugar as needed.
• Remove scones from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes to cool. Transfer to a plate and drizzle with icing. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine flour, 1/2 cup sugar, orange zest, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl. Grate frozen butter into dry ingredients using a box grater. Combine well, incorporating butter into dry ingredients until it looks like a coarse crumble. Stir in cranberries until combined.
• Combine sour cream, egg, orange juice, and vanilla extract in a small mixing bowl. Mix until smooth. Stir into dry ingredients and combine until dough just holds together and there are no dry ingredients at bottom of bowl; do not overmix.
• Turn out dough and form into a 10-inch circular mound, pressing flat to about 3/4-inch thickness, and sprinkle with remaining 3 tablespoons sugar. Cut circle into 8 triangles and spread apart slightly on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, 17 to 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CRANBERRY ORANGE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix 4 cups of flour, 1/4 cup sugar, the baking powder, salt and orange zest. Add the cold butter and mix at the lowest speed until the butter is the size of peas. Combine the eggs and heavy cream and, with the mixer on low speed, slowly pour into the flour and butter mixture. Mix until just blended. The dough will look lumpy! Combine the dried cranberries and 1/4 cup of flour, add to the dough, and mix on low speed until blended.
• Dump the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead it into a ball. Flour your hands and a rolling pin and roll the dough 3/4-inch thick. You should see small bits of butter in the dough. Keep moving the dough on the floured board so it doesn't stick. Flour a 3-inch round plain or fluted cutter and cut circles of dough. Place the scones on a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Collect the scraps neatly, roll them out, and cut more circles.
• Brush the tops of the scones with egg wash, sprinkle with sugar, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are browned and the insides are fully baked. The scones will be firm to the touch. Allow the scones to cool for 15 minutes and then whisk together the confectioners' sugar and orange juice, and drizzle over the scones.

ORANGE-CRANBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Heat 1/4 cup orange juice and water in a small pan over medium-low heat; add cranberries. Simmer the mixture for 1 minute, then remove from the heat and let sit until it cools slightly.
• Grind oats with flour, 3 tablespoons sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a food processor or blender. Add butter. Run the machine in short spurts until the mixture has the consistency of sand. Transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl.
• Add milk, 1/2 of the orange zest, and the orange-cranberry mixture to the large mixing bowl. Stir until the mixture begins to hold together.
• Form the dough into a large ball with your hands, adding a bit of milk if necessary. Press or roll out the ball of dough until it is 1 inch thick. Cut the dough into 16 squares or triangles. Sprinkle with the remaining zest and raw sugar. Place on an ungreased baking sheet.
• Bake scones in the preheated oven until they are lightly browned on the edges, about 20 minutes.
• While the scones are baking, whip cream cheese, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and orange juice together to make the topping. If the topping is too thin, thicken with additional powdered sugar.
• Frost the scones and serve warm.

CRANBERRY-POMEGRANATE ORANGE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine flour and sugar in a large bowl. Cut in butter until mixture is coarse and crumbly. Add cranberries and orange zest.
• Mix 1/2 cup buttermilk and 1/4 cup cranberry-pomegranate juice together and pour over flour mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms. Add more buttermilk as needed to bring dough together.
• Turn dough out onto a floured board. Shape into a circle and cut into 10 wedges. Arrange wedges on the baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until nicely browned, 12 to 20 minutes.
• Mix powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons cranberry-pomegranate juice together while scones are baking. Brush glaze onto hot scones.

• Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Sift flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda into large bowl.
• Mix in orange peel.
• Add butter and rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal.
• Mix in dried cranberries.
• Gradually add buttermilk, tossing with fork until moist clumps form.
• Turn dough out onto lightly floured work surface.
• Knead briefly to bind dough, about 4 turns. Form dough into 1-inch-thick round.
• Cut into 8 wedges.
• Transfer wedges to prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
• Bake until tops of scones are golden brown, about 25 minutes.
• Let stand on baking sheet 10 minutes.
• Serve scones warm or at room temperature.

ORANGE CRANBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• In a bowl beat together egg, cream, orange extract, orange peel, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla.
• In a separate bowl sift together flour, sugar, baking and salt. Cut the butter into the flour until course crumbs form. Pour cream mixture into the bowl with the flour; stir with a spatula until everything is well combined.
• Knead the dough on a floured surface and pat dough into a circle that is about 7 inches in diameter. Cut 8 wedges into the circle.
• Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes or until done.

CRANBERRY ORANGE SCONES

Steps:

• Optional: Soak cranberries in the orange juice to plump them while you make the dough, for a few minutes, a few hours, or overnight before starting the recipe.
• Mix dry ingredients together, then cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Stir in orange juice and cranberries. Mix lightly until dough comes together. If it seems too dry, add more orange juice, but just one spoonful at a time. Texture should be like biscuit dough. Don't overmix.
• Dump the dough out on an oiled or floured surface. Oil or flour your hands, pat the dough together, then divide into four balls.
• Place each ball on an ungreased cookie sheet (or use a little cooking spray, just on the spots where you place the dough), then smooth and flatten each one to a 6-inch round about 1 inch thick.
• Sprinkle rounds with sugar if desired (it makes the tops sparkly--I use demerara sugar if I have it). Using an oiled knife, cut each round into 6 wedges.
• Bake at 425 degrees for about 20-25 minutes, or until lightly browned. Let cool on pan for a few minutes, then use a small serrated knife to separate the scones and transfer them to a rack or cloth-lined basket.
• You can also make drop scones by dropping spoonfuls of dough onto a cookie sheet. (I like to use an ice cream scoop--the kind that will push the dough out. It makes them round and consistently sized.) These don't bake so long (maybe 15 minutes), so watch them closely.
• I have normally made these in a heavy-duty mixer (Bosch), and when I had to make them by hand, it was much more challenging to avoid over-mixing while getting enough liquid incorporated. The finished texture was quite different. I had to bake them longer because they were doughy in the middle, and then they got too brown. So perhaps if you don't have a mixer, you should pat them thinner (maybe 3/4 inch) and add a little more baking powder to help the rise.
