Scones are one of my favorite things. Like a cookie, but not. Sweet but not too
sweet. And there are so many ways to change up the flavor. This is a
fun way to introduce your kids to scones...because who doesn't love
sprinkles?
Confetti Scones
1 1/2 cups flour
1/3 cups sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch salt1 stick butter, chilled and cut into chunks
1 egg - beaten
1/3 cup heavy cream
4 - 5 tablespoons rainbow sprinkles ~ divided use
1/2 vanilla chips for glaze
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a large baking pan 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.
On a floured work surface, dump out the scone mixture.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of sprinkles over dough. Fold dough in half.
Repeat a second time with another tablespoon of sprinkles.
Fold dough in half a third time and sprinkle with sprinkles.
Gently work dough until sprinkles are evenly distributed.
Shape into a circle...about 1/2 inch thick.
With a 2-inch cookie cutter, cut out scones.
Place scones on prepared baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes or until lightly golden.
Remove from oven and allow to cool.
Melt vanilla chips in the microwave. Stir to smooth. Add 1 teaspoon vegetable oil to thin.
Drizzle over cooled scones. Sprinkle with remaining tablespoon of sprinkles before glaze sets.
Makes 12 scones.
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!
