Categories     dessert

Time 1h34m

Yield 14 scones

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup strawberry jam
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, from 1 large lemon
2 cups powdered sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons water
Special equipment: a 3-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter

Steps:

  • For the scones: Place an oven rack in the middle of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silpat or parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together the flour, sugar, baking powder, rosemary, salt, and butter until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl. Gradually stir in the cream until the mixture forms a dough. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough into a 1/2-inch thick, 10-inch circle. Using a 3-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out heart-shaped pieces of dough and put on the prepared baking sheet. Gently knead together any leftover pieces of dough and roll out to 1/2-inch thick. Cut the dough into more heart shapes and add to the baking sheet. Using an index finger or a small, round measuring spoon, gently make an indentation in the center of each pastry heart. Spoon a heaped 1/2 teaspoon of jam into each indentation. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Transfer the cooked scones onto a wire rack and cool for 30 minutes.
  • For the glaze: In a medium bowl, mix together the lemon juice and powdered sugar until smooth. Gradually add the water until the mixture is thin enough to spread. Using a spoon, drizzle the glaze over the scones. Let the glaze set for about 30 minutes. Serve or store in an airtight plastic container for 2 days.
  • Cook's Note: The dough can also be made by hand by stirring together the flour, sugar, baking powder, rosemary, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the butter. Using your fingertips or a pastry blender, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Gradually stir in the cream until the mixture forms a dough.

Tips for Perfect Strawberry Rosemary Scones:

  • Prep Your Ingredients: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature. This allows them to combine smoothly, resulting in a tender and flaky scone.
  • Use Cold Butter: Keep the butter cold and cut it into small pieces. This prevents the butter from melting too quickly, which can make the scones tough.
  • Work Quickly: When mixing the dough, work quickly to avoid overworking it. Overworking the dough can make the scones tough.
  • Chill the Dough: After mixing the dough, chill it for at least 30 minutes. Chilling helps develop the flavor and makes the dough easier to handle.
  • Cut the Scones Evenly: Use a sharp knife to cut the scones into even wedges. This ensures they bake evenly.
  • Bake at a High Temperature: Bake the scones at a high temperature (425°F) for a short time. This helps create a crispy exterior and a tender interior.

Conclusion:

Strawberry rosemary scones are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or as a snack. By following these tips, you can create perfect scones every time. With their combination of sweet strawberries, fragrant rosemary, and a tender, flaky texture, these scones are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
