Yield makes 14 scones

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup strawberry jam
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (from 1 to 2 lemons)
2 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, rosemary, salt, and butter until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. With the machine running, gradually pour in the heavy cream and process until the mixture forms a dough.
  • On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the dough into a 10-inch circle that's 1/2 inch thick. Using a 3-inch heart-shaped or similarly sized cookie cutter, cut out pieces of dough and place on the prepared baking sheet. Gently knead together any leftover pieces of dough and roll out to 1/2 inch thick. Cut the dough with the cutter and place on the baking sheet. Using your index finger or a small, round measuring spoon, gently make an indentation in the center of each scone. Spoon a heaped 1/2 teaspoon of jam into each indentation.
  • Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the edges of the scones are golden brown. Transfer the cooked scones onto a wire rack. Cool for 30 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the lemon juice and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Gradually add 1 to 2 tablespoons water until the mixture is thin enough to drizzle. Using a spoon, drizzle the glaze over the scones. Place the scones on a wire rack for about 30 minutes until the glaze has set. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Cook's Note
  • The dough can also be made by hand by stirring together the flour, sugar, baking powder, rosemary, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the butter. Using your fingertips or a pastry blender, work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Gradually stir in the heavy cream until the mixture forms a dough.
