ROASTED GRAPE AND ROSEMARY SCONES image

So many scones--so little time! I want to try them all! This recipe is very similar, in fact almost identical, to Strawberry Shortcake Scones, previously posted. The addition of rosemary here should be interesting. Recipe & photo: bhg.com 04-11-15

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1-1/2 c seedless green grapes
2-1/2 c all purpose flour
2 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
6 Tbsp butter
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 box (8 oz.) creme fraiche
1/4 c whipping cream
1 Tbsp chopped fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • 1. Place grapes on an ungreased baking sheet. Roast 20 to 25 minutes in a preheated 400ยบ oven or until browned and starting to burst; set aside.
  • 2. In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Make a well in center of flour mixture; set aside.
  • 3. In a medium bowl, combine egg, creme fraiche, and whipping cream. Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture. Sprinkle with roasted grapes and rosemary. Using a fork, stir just until moistened.
  • 4. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead dough by folding and gently pressing it for 10 to 12 strokes or until dough is nearly smooth. Pat dough into a 10x4" rectangle. Cut in half lengthwise and in sixths crosswise to make 12 rectangles.
  • 5. Place rectangles 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Brush rectangles with additional whipping cream. Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove scones from baking sheet. Serve warm.
