I love scones. I didn't always love scones, but I love them
now. I guess it took a while to educate my palate to appreciate them. I
think what I love more than eating them, is making them. There are just
so many different options when it comes to flavors. One of my favorite
combinations of flavors is white chocolate and raspberries so I figured
it would be good in a scone. Was I right? Oh yeah...I was right. These
disappeared pretty quickly around here. They were delicious!
White Chocolate Scones
with Raspberries
3 cups flour
2/3 cups sugar
5 teaspoons baking powder
pinch salt
2 sticks butter, chilled and cut into chunks
1 egg - beaten
3/4 cups heavy cream
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup frozen raspberries
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two baking pans with parchment paper.
In
a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Using
the paddle attachment, add the butter chunks. Combine until mixture is
crumbly.
Combine the cream and beaten egg. Add slowly to the flour/butter mixture until well combined. Add white chocolate.
On
a floured work surface, dump out the scone mixture. Shape into a round.
Sprinkle frozen raspberries on top and gently work dough so raspberries
are dispersed evenly.
Gently roll dough out into a 14
inch circle then cut into triangles. Place scones on prepared baking
sheet and bake for about 20 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from
oven and allow to cool. Drizzle with glaze.
Glaze
2 cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 tablespoons milk
Combine
ingredients into a medium mixing bowl and stir until smooth. Add enough
milk to make thick glaze. Drizzle over cooled scones. Allow to set.
Welcome!
Welcome to Simple Fare, Fairly Simple. This is a place for me to post recipes of all kinds...along with other miscellaneous fodder from my so-called life here in the south. Who knows what you will find here. Could be anything from my husband...known as IT Guy...to my kids and beautiful grandbabies that are growing up way too fast right before my eyes. But...mostly this will be a place for food. I hope you'll see something you like and if you decide to try something from the list...leave me a comment and let me know!
