Key Lime And White Chocolate Scones Recipes

LEMON, RASPBERRY, AND WHITE CHOCOLATE SCONES

Steps:

• Zest both lemons; juice 1/2 of a lemon. Set aside.
• Combine 3 cups flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, salt, and vanilla powder in a bowl, making sure ingredients are well mixed. Cut in frozen butter with a pastry blender until mixture is the texture of sand and you can no longer see pieces of butter. Place bowl into the freezer to keep cold.
• Whisk milk, eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla extract together in a separate small bowl until combined. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture. Stir until the dough comes together, then add the chocolate chips and raspberries. Gently form dough into a ball. Do not overwork.
• Combine 2 tablespoons flour, superfine sugar, and starch in a separate bowl and sift a layer onto the parchment paper.
• Transfer the dough ball onto the parchment paper and use your hand to flatten into a 1 3/4-inch thick circle. Place baking sheet into the refrigerator for 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Cut the dough into 8 triangles and separate until they're 1 inch apart. Dust with flour, sugar, and starch mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until they rise and become golden, 20 to 25 minutes.

KEY LIME AND WHITE CHOCOLATE SCONES RECIPE - (4.7/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together. Scatter the butter over the mixture and cut in with a pastry cutter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Mix in the white chocolate, lime zest, lime juice and heavy cream. Turn the dough out onto a floured counter and knead until it forms a rough, slightly sticky ball. Divide the dough into two balls. Flatten each dough ball until it is approximately an 8 inch circle. Using a sharp knife cut each circle first into halves, then fourths and finally eighths. Place the pieces onto a well greased cookie sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Drizzle the icing onto hot scones and garnish with lime zest and sugar if desired.
