Best 7 Lemon Ginger Scones With Brown Rice Flour And Agave Nectar Recipes

LEMON-GINGER SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Whisk together 3/4 cup cream and egg. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. With a pastry blender or two knives, cut butter into flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining. Stir in ginger and lemon zest. With a fork, stir in cream mixture until just combined. (The dough should be crumbly; do not overwork.)
• Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and pat into a 6-inch circle. Cut into 6 wedges and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with 1 tablespoon cream and sprinkle with sanding sugar, if desired. Bake until golden, 16 to 18 minutes, rotating sheet halfway through.

GLAZED LEMON-GINGER SCONES

Steps:

• Scones: Preheat oven to 350 degrees with rack in center.
• In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, crystallized ginger, ground ginger, and lemon zest. Add butter; beat on low speed until butter is somewhat broken down with some visible pieces remaining, about 30 seconds.
• In a liquid-measuring cup, whisk together buttermilk, cream, egg, and grated ginger. With mixer on low, add buttermilk mixture and beat until dough just comes together, 20 to 30 seconds (there will still be some flour mixture at bottom of bowl).
• Remove bowl from mixer. Using your hands, gather and lift dough, turning it over in the bowl, until remaining flour mixture has been incorporated into dough.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently roll out 1 inch thick. Using a 2 1/2-inch round cutter, cut out 10 rounds, rerolling scraps as necessary. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
• Bake until light golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer sheet to a wire rack; let cool 10 minutes.
• Lemon Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar and enough lemon juice to make a smooth, thick, pourable glaze. Brush glaze over warm scones and serve.

LEMON GINGER SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and place rack in middle of oven. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Cut the butter into small pieces and blend into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or two knives. The mixture should look like coarse crumbs. Stir in the chopped crystallized ginger and lemon zest. Add the buttermilk to the flour mixture and stir just until the dough comes together. Do not over mix the dough.
• Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead dough gently four or five times and then pat the dough into a circle that is about 7 inches (18 cm) round and about 11/2 inches (3.75 cm) thick. Cut this circle in half, then cut each half into 3 or 4 pie-shaped wedges (triangles). Place the scones on the baking sheet. Make an egg wash of one well-beaten egg mixed with 1 tablespoon milk and brush the tops of the scones with this mixture.
• Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from oven and then turn your broiler on high. Sift confectioners (powdered or icing) sugar heavily over the tops of the scones and place them under the broiler. Broil for just a few seconds, turning the pan as necessary, until the sugar has melted and turns golden brown. Make sure to watch the scones carefully as the sugar will burn very quickly. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

LEMON-GINGER SCONES

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 350°.
• Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, ground ginger, crystallized ginger, and lemon zest on low speed for 10-15 seconds, or until combined.
• Scatter the butter over the top and beat on low speed for about 30 seconds, or until the butter is somewhat broken down and grape-size pieces are still visible.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, cream, egg, and grated ginger until thoroughly mixed.
• On low speed, pour the buttermilk mixture into the flour-butter mixture and beat for 20-30 seconds, or just until the dough comes together.
• There will still be a little loose flour mixture at the bottom of the bowl.
• Remove the bowl from the mixer stand.
• Gather and lift the dough with your hands and turn it over in the bowl, so that is starts to pick up the loose flour at the bottom.
• Turn over the dough several times until all of the loose flour is mixed inches.
• Dump the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and gently roll it out about 1 inch thick.
• Using a 3 1/2 inch round cookie cutter, cut out circles.
• Reroll scrapes and cut out more circles; you should have 10 circles.
• Place them on a baking sheet, spacing them 2-3 inches apart.
• Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the scones are a light golden brown on top.
• Transfer to a wire rack to cool for 10-15 minutes.
• Lemon Glaze-while the scones are cooking, in a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and enough lemon juice to make a smooth, thick pourable glaze; you should have about 1/2 cup.
• When the scones have cooled 10-15 minutes, brush the tops evenly with the lemon glaze, then serve.
• The scones taste best on the day they are baked, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you keep them longer than 1 day, refresh them in a 300 degree oven for 4-5 minutes.
