BLUEBERRY CREAM CHEESE SCONES WITH YOGURT GLAZE



Blueberry Cream Cheese Scones with Yogurt Glaze image

Provided by Molly Yeh

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups (254 grams) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Zest of 1 lemon
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
6 ounces (170 grams) fresh or frozen blueberries, rinsed and dried (1 1/2 cups)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup (113 grams) plain whole milk yogurt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup (120 grams) cream cheese
3/4 cup (90 grams) powdered sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons plain whole milk yogurt
Pinch kosher salt
Sanding sugar, optional

Steps:

  • For the scones: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Add the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and lemon zest to a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until it's mostly pea-sized; a few larger chunks are okay. Dump the mixture into a large bowl and gently toss in the blueberries.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, yogurt, vanilla and almond extract. Pour into the dry ingredients and, using a rubber spatula, mix until about 80 percent of the dry mixture is incorporated. Dollop teaspoon-sized plops of cream cheese all over the mixture, then gently fold the mixture just until the remaining dry ingredients are incorporated. (You want the cream cheese to generally stay intact but it will of course swirl a little.) Using an ice cream scoop or large spoon, divide the dough into 8 balls and place them on the lined baking sheets about 2 inches apart (they will spread quite a bit). Bake until the tops are lightly browned and the bottoms are golden, 16 to 20 minutes.
  • For the glaze: Meanwhile, whisk together the powdered sugar, yogurt and salt in a bowl.
  • Let the scones cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool for 5 more minutes. While they're still a little warm, brush with the glaze, then sprinkle with the sanding sugar, if using. These are best enjoyed the day of.

Time 25m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 14

¼ cup butter or margarine, softened
¾ cup white sugar
2 eggs
¾ cup lemon flavored yogurt
½ teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest, or to taste
1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon, or to taste
¼ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease muffin tins, or line with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the lemon yogurt, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg; stir into the lemon mixture until just blended. Spoon batter into the prepared tins.
  • Bake for 15 to 18 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the top springs back when lightly touched. Allow the muffins to cool for about 15 minutes before removing them from the pan.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality yogurt: Plain Greek yogurt is ideal because it's thick and creamy, and it has a mild flavor.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing will make the muffins tough. Just stir until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use muffin liners: Muffin liners will help the muffins to bake evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the muffins are cooked through.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before glazing them: This will help the glaze to set properly.
  • Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

These yogurt muffins with cream cheese glaze are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. They're perfect for busy mornings or on-the-go lunches. With their light and fluffy texture and sweet and tangy glaze, these muffins are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
