Strawberry Scones Recipe 455

STRAWBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Prep: Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the strawberries into small pieces and toss them with 1 tbsp of the sugar.
• Start the dough: In a large bowl, add the flour, salt, baking powder and remaining sugar. Add the cold butter and using 2 knives or a pastry cutter start cutting the butter into the dry ingredients. Use your hands if necessary but the mixture needs to resemble small peas. Keep in mind though, if using your hands, they will melt the butter so work quickly.
• Finish the dough: Add the strawberries to the bowl and toss them well with the flour mixture. In a small bowl whisk the egg with the milk together, then pour into the flour bowl. Use a spatula to mix everything well. Add more flour if needed if the dough is too wet and sticky. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and shape into a round 10 inch disk.
• Shape the scones: Cut the dough into 8 triangles, just like you would cut pizza. Place the triangles onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the scones with the egg wash and sprinkle with Turbinado sugar.
• Bake: Transfer the sheet pan to the oven and bake 20 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.
• Lemon icing: Whisk the icing sugar with the lemon juice until smooth. Add more or less lemon juice or icing sugar until you receive desired consistency. Drizzle icing over scones and enjoy!

STRAWBERRY SCONES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400˚F. In a large bowl, stir together 2 1/2 cups flour, 2 Tbsp sugar, 1 Tbsp baking powder and 1/4 tsp salt. Add 1/2 cup diced butter and cut it into flour using pastry blender until mixture resembles pea-sized coarse crumbs. Gently toss in chopped strawberries. Make an indentation in the center and set bowl aside.
• In a second small mixing bowl, beat 2 eggs then stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream. Add the egg mixture to flour mixture and use a large spoon to gently stir just until moistened. Do not over-mix.
• Place dough onto generously floured sheet of parchment paper. Pull dough together and shape it into a 3/4-inch-thick circle. Cut into 12 equal wedges and pull them apart slightly (at least 1/2" apart).
• Brush wedges with 1 Tbsp milk, sprinkle with coarse sugar and bake at 400˚F for 15-16 min, or until puffed and golden.
• Stir together 2/3 cup powdered sugar and 1 Tbsp milk. Easily thicken glaze by adding more powdered sugar and thin it out with more milk. Drizzle glaze over scones and serve scones warm or at room temperature.

Use a pastry blender to cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse, pea-sized crumbs. Stir in strawberries, and gently toss ingredients. Make a hole in the middle of the flour mixture; pour cream mixture into the hole. Quickly stir dough together until just blended. Allow dough to rest 2 minutes.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface; and knead until smooth and satiny, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer dough to prepared baking sheet and pat into an 8-inch round. Use a serrated knife to cut the round into 8 wedge-shaped pieces. Separate wedges on the baking sheet, leaving at least 1/2 inch space between each.

• Heat oven to 375 degrees with a rack in the upper third. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place strawberries in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Let sit until soft and pliable, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain, pat dry and coarsely chop.
• Place the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the butter into the bowl, then toss until mixture resembles oatmeal. Alternatively, pulse all the dry ingredients together in a food processor. Cube the butter, add to the processor, and pulse until the mixture looks like oatmeal. Transfer mixture to a large bowl.
• Add strawberries and toss well.
• In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk and egg. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture. Using a wooden spoon, stir until all the dry flour bits are incorporated, but the dough is still shaggy. Using your hands, knead and press the dough a few times while it's still in the bowl until the dough just holds together.
• Dump the dough out onto the prepared sheet pan. Pat the dough into a round loaf about 8 inches in diameter. Using a sharp knife, deeply score the loaf into 8 wedges (but don't cut all the way through). Brush the loaf all over with buttermilk and sprinkle generously with sugar.

FLUFFY STRAWBERRY SCONES

Steps:

• Put on a baking sheet in the oven at 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Put the flour, salt and baking powder into a mixing bowl, then mix in the butter until it disappears. Put in the sugar, tip into a large bowl, then make a well in the middle. Warm the yogurt, milk and vanilla together in the microwave for 1 min or in a pan; it should be hot and may well go a bit lumpy-looking. Tip into the bowl and quickly work into the flour mix using a cutlery knife. As soon as it's all in, stop. Tip the dough onto a floured surface, then, with floured hands, fold the dough over a few times - just enough to create a smoothish dough. Press out to about 4cm/1½in thick, dip a 7cm cutter into more flour, then stamp out 4 rounds, flouring the cutter each time. Squash the remainder lightly together, then repeat until the dough is used up. Brush tops with egg wash, scatter flour over the hot sheet, then lift the scones on. Bake for 12 mins until risen and golden. Best eaten just-warm, or on the day and serve with fresh strawberries.
