Time 45m

Yield 12 scones

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 tablespoons whole berry cranberry sauce
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed orange juice
1 teaspoon orange zest
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for forming the scones
2 tablespoons sugar, plus more for sprinkling the scones
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/4 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger
1/3 cup molasses
1 large egg, separated
1/3 cup buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • For the cranberry butter: Combine the butter, cranberry sauce, orange juice and zest and salt in a medium bowl. Beat with a wooden spoon to combine. (You can also use a mini food processor or mixer.) Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • For the scones: Combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and baking soda in a food processor. Pulse to combine. Scatter in the butter pieces and pulse until the butter is the size of small peas. Sprinkle in the chopped crystallized ginger. Whisk together, then add in the molasses, egg yolk and buttermilk. Pulse just until a loose dough forms. Mound the dough into a floured work surface and knead a few times to bring it together. Pat or roll the dough into an 8-inch round. Cut into 12 wedges and transfer to the baking sheet. Beat the egg white until foamy. Brush the tops of the scones with the egg white and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake until the bottoms of the scones are golden brown and the top has a crackly sugar crust, about 18 to 22 minutes. Serve warm with the cranberry orange butter.

CRANBERRY SCONES

"You can use any dried fruit for these tender scones, but my favorite is a mix of dried cranberries and golden raisins," says Della Dunsieth of New Castle, Pennsylvania. "Don't overmix or you'll have a hard, dense scone."

CRANBERRY ORANGE GINGER SCONES



Cranberry Orange Ginger Scones image

These are lovely! They have the perfect texture. The cranberries come out soft and delightful. These would be great with tea and coffee... or maybe a glass of eggnog or hot chocolate. The key to a proper scone is to not over mix. Make sure to add the cream slowly to the dry ingredients until right consistency is achieved. I...

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 3/4 c all purpose flour
1/2 c sugar
4 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp dried orange peel (very fine) or 4 teaspoon(s) fresh zested orange peel
1 1/2 c dried cranberries
1 1/2 tsp very finely chopped candied ginger ( do not try to use just dried ginger as it will not work the same)
2 c whipping cream (for a less fat version you can use 1/2 & 1/2 but they won' t be as rich)
1/2 - 3/4 c milk

Steps:

  • 1. Spray 2-4 cookie sheets with non stick spray. Preheat oven to 375*F.
  • 2. In small bowl combine the cranberries and candied ginger with 1/2 cup of the flour. In large bowl mix together rest of flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and orange peel. combine both bowls into the large bowl.
  • 3. In small bowl combine the cream and 1/2 cup of the milk. Add slowly to the dry ingredients and combine to make a soft dough. If needed add the remaining milk by tablespoonfuls to get a soft but workable dough.
  • 4. Turn out onto lightly floured board and pat or roll into 3/4 inch thickness. Cut into triangles about 2 1/2 inches across at the base. A pizza wheel works well for this. Place on baking sheets. Bake 15-20 minutes until puffed, lightly golden browned and cooked through.

CRANBERRY GINGER SCONES



Cranberry Ginger Scones image

From Kitchen Daily by Chez Us Denise Woodward and Lenny Ferreira. Use your food processor, or make the old fashioned way -- by hand, like making biscuits!

Categories     Breads

Time 30m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
4 ounces butter (cut into small pieces)
1 cup fresh cranberries
1/4 cup candied ginger (minced)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 egg
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • NOTE: If you don't own a food processor, make these scones as you would make biscuits!
  • In a food processor combine all of the dry ingredients, give a whirl to mix. With the food processor running, add pieces of butter, a couple at a time, and pulse until pea sized. Continue adding the butter until you use all of it.
  • Add the heavy cream. Pulse until the dough comes together.
  • Add the ginger and cranberries, and give a quick pulse.
  • Remove the dough from the food processor, and knead on a lightly floured counter top. Pat into a circle, about 3/4 inch thick. Cut into 8-10 triangles.
  • Place onto a baking sheet, with space between each one.
  • Make an egg wash with the egg and a tablespoon of water. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash, and sprinkle a little sugar on each top.
  • Bake for 15 - 20 minutes, until the scones are golden brown on the tops. Remove from the oven. Let cool for 5 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a tart flavor that pairs well with the sweetness of the scones. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the scones tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the scones rise more evenly. You can chill the dough for up to 2 hours before baking.
  • Bake the scones until they are golden brown. The scones are done baking when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the scones warm with butter and jam. The scones are best served warm with butter and jam. You can also serve them with whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

These gingered cranberry scones are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give these scones a try.
