Yield Makes about 9 scones

Number Of Ingredients 13

Rhubarb compote:
200g (7 ounces) rhubarb, trimmed and cut into small pieces
50g (1/4 cup) granulated sugar
100ml (1/3 cup plus 5 tsp.) orange juice
Honey scones:
300g (2 1/3 cups) self-rising flour, plus extra for dusting
75g (about 5 1/4 tbsp) cold butter, cubed
25g (2 tbsp.) granulated sugar
2 tbsp honey, plus extra for glazing
125ml (1/2 cup) whole milk
Clotted cream, to serve
Special Equipment
6cm (2 1/3-inch) round pastry cutter

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C/180°C fan/gas 6 and line a baking tray with baking parchment.
  • Place the rhubarb in a saucepan with the sugar and orange juice. Simmer over a medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rhubarb pieces have completely broken down and the mixture is thick and sticky. Spoon into a small jar or ramekin and leave to cool.
  • To make the scones, place the flour in a large bowl and add the cubes of butter. Quickly rub the butter into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Stir in the sugar and make a well in the centre.
  • Pour the honey into the centre of the well, then gradually add the milk, stirring it into the mixture using a round-ended knife. A soft, rough dough will form. Tip the dough out on to a lightly floured worktop and knead very briefly to smooth out the dough. Over-handling the dough will make your scones tough and flat, so knead as little as possible.
  • Gently roll the dough out to a thickness of around 3cm (1 inch). Cut into rounds using a 6cm (2 1/3-inch) pastry cutter, cutting straight down and not twisting, as twisting prevents the scones from rising properly. Very gently re-roll the remaining dough, taking care not to handle it too much, and punch out more scones-you should get 9 in total. Arrange the scones on the lined baking tray and brush the tops with a little extra honey.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until risen and golden brown. Serve warm from the oven, split in half, with big dollops of clotted cream and rhubarb compote.

Tips:

  • Choose the right rhubarb: Look for firm, bright red stalks with minimal blemishes. Avoid stalks that are wilted or have brown spots.
  • Prepare the rhubarb properly: Trim the ends of the rhubarb stalks and remove any leaves. Cut the stalks into 1-inch pieces.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to prevent the rhubarb from sticking and burning.
  • Cook the rhubarb over medium heat: This will allow the rhubarb to soften slowly and develop its flavor.
  • Add sugar gradually: Start with a small amount of sugar and add more to taste. This will help to prevent the compote from becoming too sweet.
  • Use a variety of spices: Experiment with different spices to create a unique flavor profile. Some popular choices include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • Let the compote cool completely: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.

Conclusion:

Honey rhubarb compote is a versatile and delicious condiment that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. It can be served over pancakes, waffles, or yogurt, or used as a filling for pies and tarts. It can also be used as a glaze for roasted meats or fish. With its sweet and tangy flavor, honey rhubarb compote is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
