BERRY SCONES WITH ORANGE HONEY BUTTER



Berry Scones with Orange Honey Butter image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 6 large scones

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 quart heavy cream
Zest of 1 orange
1/2 cup honey
Pinch salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar, plus more for sprinkling scones
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 stick cold unsalted butter, cubed
1 1/2 cups fresh mixed berries (e.g. blueberries, raspberries, blackberries), washed and dried
3/4 cup buttermilk, (leftover from orange butter), plus more to brush scones

Steps:

  • You can do this the old fashioned way and add ingredients to a mason jar, cover with the lid and shake vigorously for 10 minutes, or you can use the food processor.
  • In a food processor bowl add all the ingredients and turn on high. The liquid will slosh, whip and then separate after about 4 minutes. When the mixture separates, (these are the butter solids and buttermilk), stop processing and strain out the buttermilk - there will be just under a cup. Reserve the buttermilk to make the scones. Strain out the butter and squeeze dry. Work the butter a couple of times to bring it together to form a nice ball. Refrigerate butter until ready to use.
  • For the scones:
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • In a food processor bowl add flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add cold butter cubes and pulse until you have the texture of coarse bread crumbs. Transfer to a large mixing bowl, then add 3/4 cup of buttermilk and stir to combine. As it comes together add berries and fold dough to incorporate berries but not break them up too much.
  • Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment lined sheet pan. Using a pastry brush, paint the tops of each scone lightly with buttermilk and sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake until golden brown, and nice and puffy, about 17 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack.
  • Serve warm with the Orange Honey Butter.

10 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries, hulled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (or raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, or combination)
1/2 cup whole milk
1/2 cup sour cream
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar, plus extra for sprinkling
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon grated fresh lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to the middle position; preheat oven to 425°.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Freeze, then grate 8 T butter over the large holes of a box grater.
  • Keep frozen until needed.
  • Place the berries in the freezer until needed.
  • Whisk the milk and sour cream together in a bowl and refrigerate until needed.
  • Whisk the flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl.

  • Fold in the chilled milk mixture with a rubber spatula until just combined (do not over mix).
  • Turn the dough and any floury bits out onto a well-floured counter.
  • Lightly flour your hands and the dough and knead the dough gently 6 to 8 times until it just holds together in a ragged ball, adding additional flour as needed to prevent sticking.
  • Roll the dough out into a 12-inch square; fold the top and bottom of the dough over the center (like a business letter).
  • Fold up the sides of the dough to form a 4-inch square; transfer the dough to a lightly floured plate and chill in the freezer for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the dough to a lightly floured counter and roll again into a 12-inch square.
  • Sprinkle the berries evenly over the dough, and press them lightly into the dough.
  • Loosen the dough from the counter with a bench scraper, and roll into a tight log and pinch the seam closed.
  • Lay the dough seam side down and press into a 12 x 4 inch rectangle.
  • Using a floured chef's knife, slice the dough crosswise into 4 equal rectangles, then slice each rectangle on the diagonal into 2 triangles.
  • Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Melt the remaining 2 T butter, then brush it over the scones and sprinkle lightly with sugar.
  • Bake until the scone tops are lightly golden brown, 18-25 minutes, rotating the pan half-way through baking.
  • Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for at least 10 minutes.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.

BERRY SCONES

Yield Makes 8 Scones

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup frozen berries (I love cranberries or blueberries here)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced and chilled
1 cup milk (low-fat is fine, nonfat is not)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set them aside.
  • 2. Combine the flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, salt, and sugar in a large bowl. Transfer a few tablespoons of this dry ingredient mixture to a small bowl and add the frozen berries. Toss to coat the berries and set aside the small bowl.
  • 3. To the large bowl with the dry ingredients, add the diced butter. Cut it in until the butter resembles pea-size chunks covered in flour. You can either use a pastry cutter or two knives and pretend like you're cutting steak with them over and over.
  • 4. Add the milk to the dry ingredient/butter mixture and stir to combine. The dough will come together. Once the dough has come together, add the berries to the dough and gently fold them in until they are evenly distributed throughout. Handling it as little as possible to keep the butter from melting in your hands, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and pat it into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
  • 5. Cut the dough into 8 triangles. Transfer the triangles to baking sheets lined with parchment paper, a couple of inches apart. Brush with a bit of milk and sprinkle with a tiny bit of sugar, if you like.
  • 6. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the scones are puffed up and slightly brown around the edges. Serve immediately.

Tips for Making Perfect Berry Scones

  • Use fresh, high-quality berries. Fresh berries will give your scones the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh berries, you can use frozen berries, but be sure to thaw them and drain them thoroughly before using.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the scones tough. Gently mix the ingredients until just combined.
  • Use cold butter. Cold butter will help to create flaky scones. If you don't have cold butter, you can freeze it for about 15 minutes before using.
  • Bake the scones in a hot oven. A hot oven will help the scones to rise quickly and evenly. Preheat your oven to the temperature specified in the recipe before baking the scones.
  • Don't overbake the scones. Overbaking the scones will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the scones until they are just golden brown on top.

Conclusion

Berry scones are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect berry scones every time. So next time you're looking for a tasty treat, give berry scones a try!
