Time 35m

Yield about 16 scones

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour, plus flour for work surface
1/2 cup yellow cornmeal, preferably stone-ground
4 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch of salt
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, in pieces
1/2 cup chopped dried cranberries
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup buttermilk
Preserves and creme fraiche (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Adjust rack to upper third of the oven.
  • Mix the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt and sugar in a food processor, and process to blend. Add the butter and pulse until you have a uniformly crumbly mixture. Transfer it to a bowl. Lightly toss in the dried cranberries.
  • Lightly stir in the egg and buttermilk, using a fork or your fingertips. The ingredients should be moistened just enough so they come together to form a ball of soft dough.
  • Pat the dough on a lightly floured board to a thickness of half an inch. Cut it in two-and-a-half-inch rounds. Gently re-form any scraps and cut a few additional rounds.
  • Put rounds on foil-covered baking sheets and bake until the biscuits are beginning to brown on top, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, allow to cool briefly, then serve, or cool completely and warm just before serving. If desired, serve with good preserves and creme fraiche.

I'm not a big fan of cornmeal, but I thought these scones were pretty good. The cranberries added a nice tartness that helped to balance out the sweetness of the cornmeal.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I might reduce the amount of sugar next time.

These scones were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might add a little bit more milk next time.

These scones are a great way to use up leftover cornmeal. I had some leftover from making cornbread and these scones were the perfect way to use it up. They were delicious and my family loved them.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy these scones were to make. I had never worked with cornmeal before, but the instructions were clear and concise. The scones turned out perfectly golden brown and had a wonderful crumb.
