CRANBERRY-WALNUT SCONES



CRANBERRY-WALNUT SCONES image

Categories     Fruit     Nut

Yield 8 scones

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/3 cups cake flour
3 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup cranberries, chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
1/3 cup buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1.Preheat the oven to 425° and line a baking sheet with wax paper. In a medium bowl, mix the flour with the sugar, baking powder and salt. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Stir in the cranberries and walnuts. 2.In a small bowl, mix the buttermilk with the vanilla. Add to the dry ingredients and stir with a fork just until the dough comes together. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead twice. Pat the dough into a round and cut into 8 wedges. With lightly floured hands, pat the wedges into 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Set the rounds on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the scones are puffed and pale golden. Transfer to a rack and cool before serving.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh cranberries. If you only have frozen cranberries, thaw them completely before using.
  • To make sure the scones are tender and flaky, be sure to use cold butter and heavy cream.
  • Don't overmix the dough, as this will make the scones tough.
  • When forming the scones, be sure to pat them out gently so that they are about 1 inch thick.
  • Bake the scones until they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the scones warm, with butter, cream, or your favorite jam.
