FIRST DECIDE WHAT TYPE OF SCONE YOU WILL BE MAKING
CRANBERRY ORANGE
BLUEBERRY LEMON
CHOCOLATE CHERRY ALMOND
TRIPLE GINGER
NEXT
GATHER ALL MIS EN PLACE TO MAKE THE SCONES
OPEN THE BAG OF SCONE MIX
PLACE IT IN THE BOWL
NEXT
TAKE COLD BUTTER & PASTRY CUTTER CUT BUTTER INTO FLOUR
BUTTER CUT INTO THE MIX,
IS ABOUT PEA SIZE IN SHAPE
MAKE A WELL IN THE CENTER OF THE FLOUR/BUTTER MIXTURE
ADD YOUR CHOICE OF ADDITIVES TO THE SCONE MIX
NOTE: FROZEN BLUEBERREIES MAY TURN THE BATTER PURPLE. SO YOU MAY WANT TO DUST THE FROZEN BLUEBERRIES WITH A COATING OF FLOUR FIRST, BEFORE ADDING THEM TO THEM TO THE MIXTURE.
CAUTIOUSLY FOLD IN THE ADDITIVES
WORK QUICKLY FOLDING THE ADDITIVES INTO THE FLOUR
WHEN FOLDING
TAKE THE RUBBER SPATULA AND SCRAPE THE BOTTOM OF THE BOWL AND BRING IT UP AND OVER TO THE TOP AND JUST FLIP YOUR SPATULA OVER
AS YOU ARE FOLDING,
BITS OF FLOUR WILL STILL BE AT THE
BOTTOM OF THE BOWL
TAKE RUBBER SPATULA AND PUSH THE FLOUR BITS INTO THE DOUGH.
GOING IN A CIRCULAR MOTION
FOLDING INTO THE BATTER GENTLY
ALL OF THE FLOUR SHOULD BE ABSORBED
DO NOT OVER MIX OR KNEAD
THE SIMPLEST WAY TO SHAP SCONES
IS USING AN ICE-CREAM SCOOP
SCOOP THE SCONES ONTO A PARCHMENT LINED
COOKIE SHEET
YOU CAN PLACE 6 LARGE SCONES ON EACH BAKING SHEET
RECIPE YILEDS:
12 LARGE SCONES
24 SMALL SCONES
CHILL DOUGH IN FREEZER OR REFRIGERATOR
PREHEAT OVEN TO 425 DEGREES F
DOUBLE PAN THE SCONES BEFORE GOING INTO OVEN, TO PREVENT OVER BAKING BOTTOMS
ONCE THE DOUGH IS CHILLED & OVEN IS AT 425
PLACE THE SCONES IN THE OVEN
SET THE TIMER ON THE OVEN FOR 5 MINS
ONCE TIMER GOES OFF REDUCE THE
OVEN TEMPERATURE TO 400
SET THE TIMER FOR ANOTHER 4 MINS
ONCE THE TIMER GOES OFF,
OPEN OVEN
ROTATE DIRECTION & LOCATION OF SCONES
SET TIMER FOR ANOTHER 7-8 MINS
CHECK SONES FOR DONENESS
THEY SHOULD FIRM WHEN TOUCH,
LIGHT GOLDEN COLOR
SMALLER SCONES WILL BAKE FASTER
THAN LARGE SIZE SCONES
ONCE THE SCONES COME OUT OF THE OVEN, LET COOL FOR 2 MINUTES
NEXY, MY TRICK IS TO REMOVE THE HOT SHEET PAN BY PULLING ON THE ENTIRE SHEET OF PARCHMENT PAPER WITH SCONES ATTACHED ONTO A COOLING RACK OR KITCHEN COUNTER
ADD GLAZE TO THE SCONES,
ONCE COOLED BUT STILL WARM
