Quick Cranberry Scones Recipes

SIMPLE SCONES

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a medium bowl, mix flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Grate butter into flour mixture on the large holes of a box grater; use your fingers to work in butter (mixture should resemble coarse meal), then stir in raisins.
• In a small bowl, whisk sour cream and egg until smooth.
• Using a fork, stir sour cream mixture into flour mixture until large dough clumps form. Use your hands to press the dough against the bowl into a ball. (The dough will be sticky in places, and there may not seem to be enough liquid at first, but as you press, the dough will come together.)
• Place on a lightly floured surface and pat into a 7- to 8-inch circle about 3/4-inch thick. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tsp. of sugar. Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 triangles; place on a cookie sheet (preferably lined with parchment paper), about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden, about 15 to 17 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature.

CRANBERRY SCONES

• In a separate bowl, toss cranberries with sugar; add to flour mixture along with orange peel and nuts. Mix lightly.
• In another bowl, beat together cream and egg; slowly pour into dry ingredients, mixing with rubber scraper until dough forms. Knead dough 4 or 5 times, being careful not to over handle.

CRANBERRY ORANGE SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 410F/210C. Line a baking tray with a liner or parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and sugar. Then, add your cold butter. Mix until the butter is just combined-as in, the mixture still looks pretty dry but there are not large chunks of butter.
• Set a medium bowl on a scale, add your eggs, and add enough milk to make 10oz. You may not need all 10oz of liquid for the batter. Every batter is a little different.
• Add half of the milk and egg mixture to the dry ingredients, mixing gently. Continue to add until you have a cohesive scone batter; you want your scone batter to be pretty dry so it holds its shape. Add in the orange zest and cranberries. Then, on a large clean surface or large liner, sprinkle some flour and add your scone batter. Knead a few times, then roll out to about 1 inch thick. Use a 2.5-inch cutter to make your individual scones. Combine scraps to form another 1-inch piece to cut more 2.5 inch scones out. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
• Place 8 scones to a baking tray, and brush the tops with an egg wash (I just use the leftover milk and egg mixture). Store the scones in the fridge until the oven is heated. Bake for 9 minutes, then rotate the pan and bake for another 8-10 minutes. You want golden brown scones, so keep an eye on the oven.
• Let them cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Best served the day of; store in an air-tight container.
• To make glaze whisk together powdered sugar and orange juice then use a spoon to drizzle on top of the cooled scones.
