Yield 12 scones

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 ounces rhubarb, cut into 1/4-inch slices if stalks are narrow, diced if large (1 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup cold heavy cream, plus more for brushing
1 large egg, beaten
1 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/3 cup buckwheat flour
2 1/4 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
Coarse sanding sugar or more granulated sugar, for sprinkling
Strawberry butter or strawberry jam, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Toss rhubarb with 1/4 cup granulated sugar; let stand, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk together cream and egg. In a large bowl, whisk together both flours, remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • Cut butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal with a few pea-size pieces remaining. Reserve 1/3 cup rhubarb mixture; stir the rest into flour mixture.With a fork, stir cream mixture into flour mixture just until combined.
  • Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Pat into a 1-inch-thick rectangle, about 6-by-7 1/2 inches. Cut into six 2-by-3 3/4-inch rectangles, then cut rectangles on the diagonal into triangles. Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets; freeze 10 minutes. Brush tops with cream; top each with a few pieces of reserved rhubarb mixture. Sprinkle generously with sanding sugar and bake, rotating once halfway through, until golden, 20 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely; serve with berry butter. Scones are best eaten the same day, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 day.

I'm not a big fan of rhubarb, but these scones were surprisingly good. The tartness of the rhubarb was well-balanced by the sweetness of the honey.

I made these scones gluten-free by using almond flour instead of buckwheat flour. They turned out great!

I was disappointed with these scones. They were dry and crumbly, and the flavor was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be making them again.

These scones were a bit more dense than I expected, but they were still very good. The flavor was great, with the rhubarb and buckwheat shining through. I would definitely make them again, but I might adjust the recipe to make them a bit lighter.
