GINGER PEACH SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Mix all of the dry ingredients (flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, powdered ginger, and candied ginger) together in a bowl.
• In a separate small bowl mix together the sour cream, whipping cream, egg and vanilla extract with a fork until combined.
• Cut the cold butter into small pieces - I generally cut the butter stick in quarters and then cut those into little pieces 1/4 inch or smaller.
• Add the butter pieces to the flour mixture and use your fingers or a pastry blender to work the butter pieces into the flour, making sure each piece is coated in flour.
• Add the cream and egg mixture to the flour and butter mixture and stir with a spoon until just combined.
• Add the diced peaches and gently mix with your hands until just combined, trying not to handle the dough too much.
• Place the dough on a floured surface and gently pat into an 8-inch round shape. With a knife, cut the dough into 8 wedges.
• Transfer the wedges to the parchment-lined baking sheet and sprinkle the scones with the Turbinado or granulated sugar.
• Bake for 14 to 18 minutes until golden brown.
• Cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack before eating.

PEACH SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a mixing bowl whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• Grate the frozen butter and add to dry mixture. Use a fork or pastry blender to cut in the butter.
• In a separate bowl whisk together yogurt, cream, egg, and vanilla until well blended.
• Add to the dry mixture and use a rubber spatula to fold the ingredients in until it starts to come together in large clumps.
• Stir in the diced fresh peaches. Gently knead mixture by hand (in the mixing bowl) just a few times until it comes together. Try not to handle the dough too much.
• Dust a clean surface with flour and drop dough onto surface. Gently pat and shape into an 8-inch round.
• Cut into 8 wedges then transfer to a parchment lined baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until golden, about 16 - 18 minutes.
• Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before drizzling the glaze on top. These are best served the day they are prepared.

PEACH GINGER OAT HEALTHY SCONES

Steps:

• 1 First, make sure your coconut oil is chilled. If your coconut oil is liquid at room temperature, pour it into a container and put it into the freezer for 15-20 minutes or until solid. Cut into cubes to make it easier to incorporate into the batter later.
• 2 Preheat your oven to 400ºF. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, or grease lightly.
• 3 In a small bowl, mix together applesauce, almond milk, and vanilla. Add grated ginger and combine. Set aside.
• 4 Whisk together flour (made with the Lee Household Flour Mill), baking powder, sugar, and salt. Add chilled coconut oil. Using a pastry blender or two butter knives, cut the oil into the flour mixture until the texture becomes crumbly. Add wet mixture to dry, and stir gently to combine (in other words: don't over do it!).
• 5 Scoop batter onto baking sheet using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, leaving about an inch between the scones. Place pieces of peach on top of each scone, and press gently to make sure they're secure. Dust tops of scones lightly with sugar.
• 6 Bake for 18 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for five minutes. Move to a wire rack to cool completely - they will be crumbly, so I'd recommend using a spatula. You can also eat these delicious and healthy scones while they are hot.

PUMPKIN-GINGER OAT SCONES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, salt and spice.
• Add the butter and toss to coat with the dry ingredients. Using your fingers or a pastry cutter, press and cut in the butter until coarse crumbs form and some peanut-size pieces remain. Toss in the ginger until evenly coated.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the pumpkin and eggs until smooth. Add to the dry ingredients and mix with a fork until no dry bits remain and mixture forms a mass.
• Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly flour. Divide the dough mass into two even pieces in the bowl and dump each piece onto the prepared sheet on opposite sides. Dampen your hands and press each piece into 3/4-inch-thick rounds (about 6 inches in diameter). Refrigerate or freeze until stiff.
• Heat oven to 425 degrees. When the oven is ready, take out the dough and cut each round into 6 even wedges using a sharp knife or bench scraper. Nudge the wedges about 1 inch apart. Sprinkle the tops with oats.
• Bake until golden brown and firm when gently pressed, 20 to 22 minutes. To see if they're cooked through, tear one open immediately to make sure there's no wetness in the center. If there is, return the pan to the oven for a few minutes.
• Cool on the pan on a rack for 5 minutes. Serve warm or room temperature, wrapped in a napkin to eat out of hand.

JOANNE CHANG'S MAPLE-BLUEBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, briefly mix both flours, the baking powder, baking soda and salt on low speed. Add half the butter and paddle until fully mixed into the flour, 2 to 3 minutes. (This will coat the flour with butter so the scones are tender.)
• Add the remaining butter to the bowl of the stand mixer. Pulse the mixer three or four times to mix the pieces into the dough while keeping them whole. (This step will give you small pieces of butter in the dough, which will help the scones be a bit flaky.)
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the crème fraîche, maple syrup, buttermilk and yolk until thoroughly mixed. Stir in the blueberries. With the mixer on low, pour the blueberry mixture into the flour mixture, and paddle on low for about 10 seconds to get some of the liquid mixed into the flour. Stop the mixer, and mix the rest of the loose flour into the dough by hand: Gather and lift the dough with your hands and turn it over in the bowl several times until all the loose flour is mixed in. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it well and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or for up to 1 day. (This gives the flour time to fully absorb the liquid.)
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees, and position a rack in the center. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Using a 1/2-cup measuring cup or ice cream scoop, scoop out 8 mounds of chilled dough, and place them on the baking sheet a few inches apart. Bake scones for 35 to 45 minutes, rotating the baking sheet midway through the baking time, until the scones are evenly golden brown and firm when you press them.
• While the scones are baking, make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and enough maple syrup to make a thick, spreadable glaze. Use immediately, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Rewhisk before using.
• As soon as you remove the scones from the oven, use a pastry brush to brush them with the glaze while they're warm. Let cool on the baking sheet for 30 minutes, then serve.

PEACH & ORANGE YOGURT POTS WITH GINGER OATS

Steps:

• Put the peaches and orange juice in a small pan. Put the lid on and cook gently for 3-5 mins, depending on their ripeness, until softened. Set aside to cool.
• Tip the oats and pine nuts into a pan and heat gently, stirring frequently until they're just starting to toast. Turn off the heat and add the spices, zest and sultanas.
• Spoon the peaches and juices into four tumblers and top with the yogurt. Cover and chill until needed. Keep the oat mixture in an airtight container. When ready to serve, top the peaches and yogurt with the oat mixture.
