BERRY SCONES WITH ORANGE HONEY BUTTER

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.

  • Bake the scones in a hot oven until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the scones warm with orange butter or your favorite jam or clotted cream.
