LEMON-ROSEMARY SCONES



Lemon-Rosemary Scones image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h50m

Yield 24 scones

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for flouring
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 cup heavy cream
1 egg
2 lemons
Leaves from 2 rosemary sprigs (or 4 if they're small sprigs), finely minced
5 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup whole milk, plus more if needed for thinning

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degree F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.
  • Place the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt into a sifter or fine-mesh strainer, then sift the mixture into a large bowl until it's all combined. Throw the butter pieces into the bowl and use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the dry ingredients.
  • Measure the cream in a spouted measuring cup and crack in an egg. Zest one of the lemons and add the zest to the cream. Add half of the rosemary to the mixture. Whisk together, then drizzle it into the flour-butter mixture, stirring gently with a fork until combined and a dough forms.
  • Turn the dough onto a floured surface and lightly press it together until it forms a rough rectangle. Use a rolling pin to roll into a rectangle about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch thick. Use your hands to help with the forming if necessary. The final rectangle should be about 18 inches by about 10 inches.
  • Use a knife to trim the dough into a symmetrical rectangle, then cut the rectangle into 12 symmetrical square/rectangular pieces. Next, cut each piece in half diagonally to form smaller triangles. Transfer the triangles to the prepared baking sheets. Bake until just barely golden brown, about 18 minutes, then allow to cool completely.
  • While the scones are cooling, make the glaze: Combine the powdered sugar and milk in a large bowl. Add the juice of the lemon you zested and whisk the mixture together. Zest the second lemon and add the zest to the bowl. Add the rest of the rosemary and whisk it until it's all combined. Add a little extra milk if it needs thinning.
  • Position a cooling rack over a baking sheet. When the scones are completely cooled, drop them one by one into the glaze. Flip them over to coat. Transfer them to the cooling rack to allow the excess glaze to drip off. Allow the glaze to set completely before serving.
  • The scones will last for several days in an airtight container.

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

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.

VEGAN TOMATO-ROSEMARY SCONES (WITH GLUTEN-FREE OPTION)



Vegan Tomato-Rosemary Scones (With Gluten-Free Option) image

I got hooked on these at my local Whole Foods bakery and then was ecstatic to find the recipe in Isa Chandra Moskowitz's book, Vegan Brunch. The best part is that I can now make them gluten free for my husband! I hope you enjoy these savory scones as much as we do. They're divine with some melty Earth Balance Buttery Spread or Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese.

Provided by Prose

Categories     Breads

Time 25m

Yield 12 scones, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups all-purpose flour (OR Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free All-Purpose Baking Flour plus 1 teaspoon xantham gum)
2 tablespoons baking powder
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/3 cup olive oil
1 (14 ounce) can tomato sauce (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped (about 4 sprigs)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and pepper.
  • In another bowl, combine wet ingredients and rosemary.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the liquid. Gently mix with a wooden spoon.
  • When the batter is loosely holding together, turn it onto a lightly floured work surface and gently knead until a soft dough forms. DO NOT overmix. Some patches of flour are good. Add a little extra flour if the dough seems sticky. Divide dough in two and form each section into a 6-inch disk. Slice each disk into six pieces (cut in half and then cut each half into thirds). OR if you are lazy like me and don't need your scones to be pretty, you can just scoop the dough into 8-12 mounds on the cookie sheet (like drop biscuits).
  • Place scones on the baking sheet and bake 14-16 minutes or until the tops are firm. Remove and let cool a bit on plate or cooling rack. Serve either warm or at room temperature.

LEMON ROSEMARY SCONES - PIONEER WOMAN RECIPE - (3.9/5)



Lemon Rosemary Scones - Pioneer Woman Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by campbellkid36

Number Of Ingredients 16

SCONES:
3 cups all purpose flour
2/3 cups sugar
5 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 sticks (1/2 Pound) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into pieces
1 whole large egg
1 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon finely minced rosemary, fresh
Zest of 1 lemon
Glaze
5 cupspowdered sugar, sifted
1/2 cup whole milk, more if needed for thinning
Zest and juice from 1 lemon
1 teaspoon rosemary, finely minced and fresh
Dash Of Salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix cream with egg, lemon zest and rosemary and allow to sit for 10 to 15 minutes to steep. Use a pastry cutter or two knives to cut the butter pieces into the flour. Keep going until mixture resembles crumbs. Mix wet mixture with flour mixture; stir gently with a fork until combined. Mix should be crumbly, but if it's too crumbly to work with, splash in a small amount of heavy cream. Turn dough onto a floured surface and lightly press it together until it forms a rough rectangle. Use a rolling pin to roll into a rectangle about 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch thick. Use your hands to help with the forming if necessary. Final rectangle should be about 18 inches by about 10 inches. Use a knife to trim into a symmetrical rectangle, then cut the rectangle into 12 symmetrical squares/rectangles. Next, cut each square/rectangle in half diagonally, to form smaller triangles. Transfer to a parchment or baking mat-lined cookie sheet and bake for 18 minutes, removing from the oven just before they start to turn golden. Allow to cool for 15 minutes on the cookie sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. GLAZE: To make the icing, add lemon zest, lemon juice and rosemary into milk; allow to sit for awhile. Mix powdered sugar with the milk, adding more powdered sugar or milk if necessary to get the consistency the right thickness. Stir or whisk until completely smooth. One at a time, carefully dunk each cooled scone in the glaze, turning it over if necessary. Transfer to parchment paper or the cooling rack. Allow the glaze to set completely, about an hour. Scones will keep several days if glazed.

Tips for Making Perfect Rosemary Scones:

  • Use fresh rosemary: Fresh rosemary will give your scones the best flavor. If you don't have fresh rosemary, you can use 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, but the flavor will be less pronounced.
  • Don't overwork the dough: Overworking the dough will make your scones tough. Mix the ingredients until they are just combined, then stop.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the scones rise and give them a flaky texture.
  • Bake the scones until they are golden brown: The scones are done baking when they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Rosemary scones are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect rosemary scones every time. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying snack, give rosemary scones a try!
