Provided by Cassie Best

Categories     Afternoon tea, Snack, Supper

Time 35m

Yield Makes 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

225g self-raising flour , plus extra for dusting
1 tsp baking powder
50g butter , cubed
50g walnuts , finely chopped, plus 6 walnut halves for the tops
125-150ml whole milk
1 egg , beaten
soft goat's cheese , to serve (optional)
fig jam , to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and lightly dust a baking sheet with flour. Mix the flour, baking powder and a good pinch of salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and rub together with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the chopped walnuts and the milk, mix together using a cutlery knife until clumping together, then tip onto your work surface and squash together to form a ball - try not to work the dough too much or your scones will be heavy. Flatten the dough a little with your hand to make a disc roughly 3cm thick, then use a sharp knife to cut into 6 triangles.
  • Transfer to a baking sheet, brush with a little beaten egg, then place a walnut half on each scone. Bake for 15 mins until golden and puffed, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve with soft goat's cheese and fig jam, if you like.

SPICED CANDIED WALNUTS

Provided by Michael Chiarello : Food Network

Time 1h21m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

Peanut or canola oil
4 cups walnut halves
1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch salt, or more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, heat about 1-inch of oil to 350 degrees F.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add walnuts and blanch for 30 seconds. Drain and transfer nuts to a medium bowl. While nuts are still hot and slightly wet, add confectioners' sugar and toss to coat nuts. Stir and toss until all the sugar has melted into the nuts; if bits of un-melted sugar remain on the nuts, they will not fry properly.
  • Stir the nuts again before frying. Using a large slotted spoon, transfer a few nuts to the hot oil, allowing the foam to subside before adding another spoonful. (Otherwise, the oil could foam over and burn you.) Fry in small batches until the nuts are medium brown, about 45 seconds; be careful not to overcook. Scatter on an unlined baking sheet to cool slightly.
  • In a small bowl, stir together cayenne, cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
  • While the nuts are still warm, transfer them to a bowl and sprinkle evenly with about half of the spice mix. Toss well to distribute the spices and then taste a nut. Add more spice mix, to taste, and toss well after each addition. When cool, pack in an airtight jar. They will keep at room temperature for at least 2 weeks.

SPICED WALNUTS



Spiced Walnuts image

I pick my walnuts from a local tree, clean them and crack them myself-this recipe is worthy of my hard-won walnuts! The rich, buttery taste will fool you, as there's not a drop of butter in them. Not overly sweet, the nuts get nice and crispy from the egg bath. They work well as an appetizer and are an always-welcome hostess gift. They also freeze well, so you can enjoy them any time of year. -Sherri Starkin, Lyle, Washington

  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the scones hold their shape in the oven.
  • Bake the scones until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Serve the scones warm with your favorite toppings: Butter, jam, or honey are all great options.
