TRIPLE CITRUS SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°. Place flour, 1/4 cup sugar, citrus zest, baking powder and salt in a food processor; pulse until blended. Add cold butter; pulse until butter is the size of peas. Transfer to a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk egg, orange juice and buttermilk until blended; stir into crumb mixture just until moistened., Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead gently 6-8 times. Pat dough into a 6-in. circle. Cut into 8 wedges. Place wedges on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with melted butter; sprinkle with remaining sugar., Bake 14-18 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix glaze ingredients until smooth. Remove scones from oven; immediately brush with glaze. Serve warm.

TRIPLE BERRY BUTTERMILK SCONES

Steps:

• In a small bowl beat together the egg and water until well combined. Set aside until needed.
• Preheat oven to 400°(F). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
• In a large bowl combine flour, salt, baking powder, sugar, and lemon zest; mix well to combine.
• Cut the butter into small cubes then work it into the mixture (using two forks or a pastry blender) until it resembles a coarse meal. The chunks of butter should be no smaller than peas and no larger than hazelnuts.
• In a small bowl whisk together the egg and buttermilk until well combined. Add this liquid mixture to dry mixture and use a fork to stir everything together until just moistened.
• Add in the berries and, using a rubber spatula, gently fold them into the dough. Don't worry if some of the berries break up a bit.
• Empty the loose dough out onto a clean, lightly floured work surface, then shape the dough into an 8-inch circle. You will need to knead the mixture a few times to get it to a workable texture.
• Cut the dough into 8 wedges and carefully transfer them to the prepared sheet, placing them 2" apart.
• Lightly brush each scone with the egg wash.
• Bake for 20 to 22 minutes, or until light golden brown.
• Allow scones to cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheet. In the meantime you can make your glaze.
• In a small bowl whisk together the lemon juice, confectioners' sugar, and salt. Drizzle over scones and sprinkle with almonds, if using. Serve at once.

• 4. Form dough into a 12 x 6 inch rectangle. Cut into 12 triangular pieces. At this point you may sprinkle coarse sugar granules on top.
• 5. Bake on cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 13-16 minutes or until lightly browned. You may use a powdered sugar glaze drizzled over the warm tops.

TRIPLE-FRUIT SCONES

Steps:
