Marmalade Scones image

I adapted this recipe from my "delicious tea scones" one, after making 3 jars of marmalade which failed to set! It was a great way to use up all that marmalade syrup, in a way which didn't end in the garbage bin. Although I haven't tried it, I am sure any good marmalade would do the trick in the place of "liquid marmalade."

Time 50m

Yield 12 scones, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
4 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
3/4 cup milk
1/4-1/2 cup marmalade, to taste
2 tablespoons brown sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine the sugar, salt, baking powder, and flour. I usually do 2/3 white, and 1/3 wholewheat flour for a slightly grainy look.
  • Add the butter with your hands, until the mixture looks crumbly.
  • In a smaller separate bowl, blend the eggs and milk, then add these to the above, not mixing thoroughly.
  • Now, measure out 1/4 cup marmalade (or less) and gradually add the full amount of marmalade until a satisfactory taste level is reached. I usually do the full 1/2 cup, but do as you please- not everyone likes marmalade as much as I do!
  • Roll into a flat-ish disc about 1 1/2" thick. Cut into 12 triangles/square shapes. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for an easy cleanup.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes at 425F until golden brown. For an elegant look, bake for the last 3-5 minutes with brown sugar sprinkled on top.
  • Finally, enjoy! These are best when served hot.
