AMARETTO CHERRY SCONES



AMARETTO CHERRY SCONES image

I'm a sucker for dried cherries - on their own, in a trail mix, and in baked morsels. These mini amaretto cherry scones are another fun way to use one of my favorites dried fruits. You can use tart or bing cherries in the recipe. You could even use a fruit other than cherries. I won't tell!

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 20

3/4 cup dried cherries
1/2 cup amaretto
1 3/4 cups All Purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour (I use Bob's Red Mill)
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 cup chilled butter
1/3 cup finely chopped pecans
1 cup buttermilk (can use milk w. 1 Tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice)
1 egg
1 tablespoon water or buttermilk
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons reserved cherry amaretto
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
1-11/2 teaspoons milk/cream

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, heat dried cherries in amaretto over medium heat for five minutes. Gently stir to infuse cherries with amaretto. Let cool. Drain cherries, reserving infused amaretto for icing.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Combine flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a large bowl. Add lemon zest. Remove butter from refrigerator. Cut into small cubes. Mix butter into flour mixture. Finish combining flour and butter with hands, squeezing butter into flour with fingertips until mixture resembles a coarse meal.
  • Add cherries and pecans. Slowly stir in buttermilk and vanilla with rubber spatula. When combined, turn dough onto heavily floured surface. Knead dough to make sure buttermilk is incorporated throughout.
  • Pat into 4x12-inch rectangle. Cut into squares and then triangles with large knife.
  • Place scones on parchment-lined baking sheet with space between. Beat egg and water/milk in shallow bowl. Brush mixture onto each scone.
  • Bake 20-25 minutes, rotating pan after ten minutes. Let cool completely.

1/2 cup raisins or dried cherries
1 tablespoon Amaretto, or to taste
2 cups flour (all-purpose)
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder

  • Before starting scones, place raisins or cherries in a bowl and cover with Amaretto. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour or until raisins/cherries have plumped. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry cutter until mixture resembles crumbs. In another bowl mix together the egg, milk, cream and Amaretto. Pour into dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Add the raisins or cherries and nuts. Mix until a dough comes together. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead lightly. With a round cutter (2 or 3-inch) cut dough. Space scones at least 1 to 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. With the remaining 2 tablespoons of cream brush each top of the scones. Bake the scones at 350 degrees for 12 to 14 minutes or until scones are light brown in color. Let scones cool and dust with confectioners' sugar.

Yield Makes 8 scones

Number Of Ingredients 17

For apricot swirl
1/2 cup dried apricots (2 3/4 ounces)
3 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1/2 tablespoon Disaronno Amaretto
2 tablespoons sliced almonds with skins (1/2 ounce)
For scones
2 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour plus additional for dusting
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 sticks (10 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3 1/2 ounces pure almond paste (1/3 cup)
4 tablespoons sliced almonds with skins (1 ounce)
1 cup well-shaken buttermilk
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons almond extract

Steps:

  • Make apricot swirl:
  • Simmer apricots and water in a small heavy saucepan, covered, stirring occasionally, until water is absorbed, about 3 minutes, then transfer to a food processor. Add brown sugar and Amaretto and pulse to a coarse purée. Add almonds and pulse once or twice to coarsely chop nuts.
  • Transfer purée to a bowl and cool to room temperature.
  • Make scones:
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
  • Put flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and butter in cleaned food processor, then crumble almond paste and add to processor. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal with some small (roughly pea-size) butter lumps. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons almonds.
  • Whisk together buttermilk, eggs, and almond extract in a 2-cup glass measure, then reserve 2 tablespoons buttermilk mixture for brushing on scones. Make a well in center of flour mixture and pour in remaining buttermilk mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon until just combined. Add apricot purée and stir once or twice to distribute without incorporating fully. (Dough will be wet.)
  • Transfer dough with floured hands to a well-floured surface, then turn dough to coat with flour and pat into a round about 6 inches in diameter and 2 inches thick. Carefully transfer dough to lined baking sheet and cut into 8 equal wedges with a floured knife, leaving wedges together. (If dough is too soft to cut, chill until firm, about 30 minutes, before cutting.)
  • Brush top and sides with reserved buttermilk mixture and sprinkle with remaining 2 tablespoons almonds. Bake until golden and a wooden pick or skewer inserted in center of a scone comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool on a rack 15 minutes and cut wedges to separate. Serve warm or at room temperature.
