Quick Mix Scones Recipes

SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
• In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter. Mix the egg and milk in a small bowl, and stir into flour mixture until moistened.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead briefly. Roll dough out into a 1/2 inch thick round. Cut into 8 wedges, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown.

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.

BISQUICK SCONES (EASY RECIPE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease a cookie sheet with non-stick spray or shortening or line it with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, combine the Bisquick mix, chocolate chips, whipping cream, sugar, egg, and vanilla until a smooth dough forms.
• Form the dough into an 8-inch circle and place it on the cookie sheet. Brush it with whipping cream and sprinkle with sugar.
• Coat a knife with flour and use it to cut the dough into 8 equal wedges, without slicing all the way through. (You'll bake the entire dough as one large scone.)
• Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Let the scones cool slightly for 5 minutes then transfer onto a cooling rack. Divide into 8 wedges. Serve warm and enjoy!

QUICK CURRANT SCONES

Steps:

• Pulse flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a food processor. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles oatmeal. Transfer to a bowl.
• Stir cream into flour mixture until just combined. Fold currants into dough. Transfer dough to a sheet of plastic wrap; fold to completely cover dough. Shape dough into a 1-inch thick disk and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon mat.
• Unwrap dough and cut into 8 wedges. Arrange wedges on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes.
