BLUEBERRY SCONES WITH LEMON GLAZE



Blueberry Scones with Lemon Glaze image

Provided by Tyler Florence

Time 40m

Yield 8 scones

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, cut in chunks
1 cup fresh blueberries
1 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing the scones
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 lemon, zest finely grated

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Sift together the dry ingredients; the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Using 2 forks or a pastry blender, cut in the butter to coat the pieces with the flour. The mixture should look like coarse crumbs. Fold the blueberries into the batter. Take care not to mash or bruise the blueberries because their strong color will bleed into the dough. Make a well in the center and pour in the heavy cream. Fold everything together just to incorporate; do not overwork the dough.
  • Press the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 12 by 3 by 1 1/4 inches. Cut the rectangle in 1/2 then cut the pieces in 1/2 again, giving you 4 (3-inch) squares. Cut the squares in 1/2 on a diagonal to give you the classic triangle shape. Place the scones on an ungreased cookie sheet and brush the tops with a little heavy cream. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until beautiful and brown. Let the scones cool a bit before you apply the glaze.
  • You can make the lemon glaze in a double boiler, or for a simpler alternative, you can zap it in the microwave. Mix the lemon juice with the confectioners' until dissolved in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water for the double-boiler method, or in a microwave-safe bowl. Whisk in the butter and lemon zest. Either nuke the glaze for 30 seconds or continue whisking in the double boiler. Whisk the glaze to smooth out any lumps, then drizzle the glaze over the top of the scones. Let it set a minute before serving.

Time 1h15m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups all-purpose flour
⅓ cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 lemon, zested
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup cold butter, cubed
1 cup fresh blueberries
½ cup heavy cream
1 large egg
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons heavy cream
¼ cup powdered sugar
1 ½ teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, salt, and baking soda in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 3 or 4 times to mix. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse crumbs, 20 to 25 times. Pour mixture into a large bowl. Fold in blueberries, making sure they are well coated with the dry ingredients.
  • Beat 1/2 cup heavy cream, egg, and lemon juice together using a fork in a small bowl. Stir into flour mixture and mix just until slightly moistened.
  • Turn dough out onto a well floured surface. Gather dough in a circle using floured hands, kneading only slightly to incorporate any remaining dry ingredients. Flatten dough into a 9-inch round disc; cut disc into 8 triangles. Transfer scones using a bench scraper to the prepared baking sheets (4 scones per baking sheet). Brush scones with 2 tablespoons heavy cream.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until light brown, 20 to 23 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Mix powdered sugar and lemon juice together in a small bowl. Transfer to a small resealable plastic bag; snip the corner off of the bag using scissors, and drizzle cooled scones with glaze.

BLUEBERRY-LEMON SCONES



Blueberry-Lemon Scones image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 40m

Yield 8 scones

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
6 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons grated lemon zest, plus 1/4 cup lemon juice
Dash of vanilla
1 cup blueberries, washed and dried
Serving suggestion: Honey Butter and Blackberry Jam, recipes follow
One 8-ounce tub whipped unsalted butter, at room temperature
3 tablespoons honey, preferably wildflower or mesquite
2 cups (about 12 ounces) blackberries
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cups sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add to the dry ingredients.
  • Starting at low speed, beat the butter and dry ingredients. Increase the speed to medium and mix until the butter breaks into small pieces. Then stir in the milk, lemon zest and juice, and vanilla until moistened.
  • Place the dough on a floured surface and fold in the blueberries, being careful not to break them. Form the dough into a long rectangle, about 1 inch thick. Cut the dough into 2 squares. Cut each square in half diagonally, and then cut those pieces in half again. You should have 8 triangles total.
  • Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake until golden brown, 17 to 21 minutes. Let cool. Serve with Honey Butter and Blackberry Jam.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the butter and honey and blend thoroughly.
  • To serve, transfer to a butter crock.
  • You can also roll the butter into a log, chill it and then slice it into individual pieces. Place the blended butter on a piece of plastic wrap, shaping it into a rectangle. Wrap the butter tightly in the plastic wrap, folding the sides in first and then the top and bottom. Roll into a log and refrigerate until firm. To serve, cut 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices and arrange them in a butter dish.
  • Place the berries in a large stainless steel or enamel saucepan. Bring to a full boil over high heat, mashing the berries with a potato masher as they cook. Add the lemon juice and boil hard for 1 minute, stirring and mashing constantly.
  • Add the sugar and return the mixture to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly, until it begins to look syrupy and thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and test for doneness: a candy thermometer should register 220 degrees F and the mixture should coat the back of a spoon. Run a finger--or a clean object about the width of a finger--through the coat of jam. If the jam does not run and fill the gap, it is done. Otherwise, return the pan to the heat for another 1 to 2 minutes and test again. Be careful not to let the mixture get too thick--it will thicken as it cools. (See Cook's Note)
  • When the jam is done, transfer it to a heatproof jar and cool to room temperature, about 2 hours. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and refrigerate. The jam will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Yield Makes 10

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup finely chopped crystallized ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
Grated zest of 2 lemons
1 3/4 sticks (14 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into 8 to 10 pieces
1/2 cup cold buttermilk
1/2 cup cold heavy cream
1 large egg, well chilled
2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 to 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

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).

  • 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-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.

LEMON POPPY SEED SCONES



Lemon Poppy Seed Scones image

The method for making these scones is very simple but can be a little scary for a novice baker, since the dough starts off in such rough shape. If you're able to wrestle it all together on the table, verses mixing into a dough ball in the bowl, you'll be rewarded with a much tenderer scone. But even a slightly tough one, painted with a fruity fresh strawberry glaze, will be a winner at any special-occasion brunch or teatime.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Bread     Quick Bread Recipes     Scone Recipes

Time 1h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 ¾ cups self-rising flour
1 stick very cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
½ cup white sugar
1 tablespoon lemon zest, or more to taste
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
⅓ cup whole milk, or more as needed
3 strawberries, or more to taste
1 cup powdered sugar, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Place self-rising flour in a large bowl. Cut in butter using a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add poppy seeds, sugar, and lemon zest; mix to combine. Make a well in the center and pour in egg, lemon juice, and milk. Mix with a fork until dough starts to come together. Scoop up with one hand until a shaggy dough forms.
  • Pour dough out onto your work surface. Use your hands and a bench scraper to gather and press dough into a neat rectangle about 1- to 1-1/2-inches tall. Cut into 4 squares and then diagonally into 8 triangles. Space scones evenly onto a silicone-lined baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bottoms are golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer onto a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Mash strawberries finely to resemble a puree. Whisk in powdered sugar in batches to make a thick, spreadable glaze. Spread glaze over the cooled scones. Let scones cool on the rack until glaze hardens, about 20 minutes.

  • Beat 2 eggs and buttermilk together with a fork in a small bowl; add egg mixture to flour mixture and mix until the dough starts to come together and is just moistened. Let dough rest for 10 minutes.
  • Turn dough out on a lightly-floured surface and pat dough into a 1-inch thick circle. Cut circle in half with a sharp knife and cut each half into four sections. Gently transfer each section with a floured spatula to the prepared baking sheet.
  • Whisk 1 egg and cream together in a small bowl. Brush egg-cream mixture over each scone.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the scones are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped, about 30 minutes. Remove to a wire rack.
  • Stir confectioners' sugar and lemon juice together in a bowl until desired glaze consistency is reached. Drizzle glaze over warm scones.

LEMON POPPYSEED MINI SCONES



Lemon Poppyseed Mini Scones image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 1h35m

Yield 24 mini scones

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2/3 cup granulated sugar
5 teaspoons baking powder
2 sticks (8 ounces) salted butter, cold
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
2/3 cup heavy cream
Zest of 3 lemons plus 1/3 cup lemon juice
1 large egg
4 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1/3 cup whole milk, plus more if needed
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
Pinch of kosher salt
Poppy seeds, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • For the scones: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  • Sift together the flour, granulated sugar and baking powder. Cut the cold butter into pats, then use a pastry cutter or 2 knives to cut the butter into the flour mixture. Keep going until the mixture is crumbly, then stir in the poppy seeds.
  • Mix together the heavy cream, lemon zest and juice and egg in a small pitcher. Stir the wet ingredients into the flour mixture with a fork or spatula just until the dough comes together.
  • Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and lightly press it together until it forms a rough rectangle (the mixture will be pretty crumbly). Use a rolling pin to roll into a rectangle about 12 inches by 7 inches and 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. Use your hands to help with the forming if necessary. Then cut the rectangle into 12 symmetrical rectangles, first cutting lengthwise into 3 strips and then across into 4 strips. Next, cut each rectangle in half diagonally, to form 2 triangles. Transfer to the prepared baking sheets.
  • Bake until cooked through but not yet golden, about 16 minutes. Allow to cool for 10 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • For the lemon glaze: Whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, lemon zest and juice and salt until completely smooth, adding more milk if needed for thinning.
  • Dip the scones in the glaze, then sprinkle with poppy seeds. Allow the glaze to set completely before serving.

POPPY SEED LEMON SCONES

You'll love the appealing look and delicate texture of these lightly sweet scones. For the best results, work quickly to mix and cut them. The less you handle the dough, the more tender the scones are. They're delightful served warm with homemade lemon curd for breakfast or with a salad for lunch. -Linda Murray, Allenstown, New Hampshire
