STRAWBERRY SCONE LOAF



Strawberry Scone Loaf image

Bits of dried strawberry form jammy pockets in the tender crumb of this golden, crunchy-topped treat. Baking it as a loaf instead of individual scones keeps the interior particularly moist, while the edges bake up craggy and brown. Serve it dolloped with softened butter or clotted cream. And while adding jam might seem like overkill, it's only in the best possible way.

Categories     quick breads, dessert

Time 1h

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup/125 grams dried strawberries or pitted dates (not freeze-dried; see Tip)
2 cups boiling water
2 cups/250 grams all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting the work surface
1/4 to 1/3 cup/50 to 66 grams granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup/113 grams very cold unsalted butter
1/3 cup buttermilk, plus more for brushing
1 large egg, beaten
Butter and clotted cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees with a rack in the upper third. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place strawberries in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Let sit until soft and pliable, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain, pat dry and coarsely chop.
  • Place the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the butter into the bowl, then toss until mixture resembles oatmeal. Alternatively, pulse all the dry ingredients together in a food processor. Cube the butter, add to the processor, and pulse until the mixture looks like oatmeal. Transfer mixture to a large bowl.
  • Add strawberries and toss well.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk and egg. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture. Using a wooden spoon, stir until all the dry flour bits are incorporated, but the dough is still shaggy. Using your hands, knead and press the dough a few times while it's still in the bowl until the dough just holds together.
  • Dump the dough out onto the prepared sheet pan. Pat the dough into a round loaf about 8 inches in diameter. Using a sharp knife, deeply score the loaf into 8 wedges (but don't cut all the way through). Brush the loaf all over with buttermilk and sprinkle generously with sugar.
  • Bake until golden brown, 25 to 35 minutes. Let cool slightly. Cut or break into wedges and serve warm with butter and clotted cream.

DARK CHOCOLATE MARZIPAN SCONE LOAF

Provided by Molly Yeh

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

7 to 8 ounces marzipan, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
2 large eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk or heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Jam, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line an 8-by-4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing 1-inch wings to hang over the edges on the long sides.
  • In a large mixing bowl, toss the marzipan with the powdered sugar to coat. Add the chocolate chips and set aside.
  • In a food processor, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and 2 tablespoons of the sugar and pulse to combine. Add the butter cubes and pulse until the butter is the size of peas. Add this to the bowl with the marzipan.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk or cream, and extracts and add to the dry ingredients. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir until just combined.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the top with remaining teaspoon of sugar and bake until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.
  • Cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Using the parchment wings, remove to the rack to cool completely. Cut with a serrated knife and serve with jam.

HOT CROSS SCONES



Hot cross scones image

Simpler than bread-based hot cross buns, these basic scones are an easy win for teatime with kids. They work just as well without the currants, if you prefer

Provided by Lulu Grimes

Categories     Brunch, Snack, Treat

Time 32m

Number Of Ingredients 9

225g self-raising flour , plus extra for dusting
¼ tsp salt
50g butter , chilled
1 small dessert apple , peeled and cored
3 tbsp currants or other dried fruit (chopped if large)
50-75 ml milk
4 tbsp natural yogurt
1 egg , beaten (optional)
pack of strawberry laces or a roll of fruit leather, cut into strips the same diameter as the scone

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the flour and salt into a large bowl. Grate the butter into the bowl, toss the mixture together, then rub the bits of butter into the flour until there are no big lumps left.
  • Grate the apple into the bowl, then add the dried fruit, 50ml milk and the yogurt, and combine to make a soft dough. If the dough looks dry, add a little more milk. Don't squeeze it too much and don't worry if it looks a little lumpy. Roll out the dough on a floured surface and cut out scones using a 4cm round cutter. Combine any off-cuts and cut out more scones until you have used up all the mixture.
  • Put the scones on a baking tray and cut a cross across the top of each (adults may have to help children here). Brush some egg over the top, if using. Bake for 10-12 mins or until the scones are risen and golden brown. While they are still warm, lay strawberry laces into the crosses you have cut in the tops of the scones.
