Best Vanilla And Raisins Scones Recipes

RAISIN SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine 4 cups flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, the baking powder, and salt in an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Blend in the cold butter at the lowest speed and mix until the butter is in pea-sized pieces. Combine the eggs and heavy cream and quickly add to the flour/butter mixture. Combine until just blended. Combine the raisins and 1 tablespoon flour and then add to the dough and mix quickly. The dough may be a bit sticky.
• Dump the dough out onto a floured surface and be sure it is well combined. Flour your hands and a rolling pin and roll the dough out to 3/4-inch to 1-inch thick. You will see lumps of butter in the dough. Cut into squares with a 4-inch cutter and then cut in half diagonally to make triangles. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Brush the scones with the egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the outsides are crisp and the insides are done.

EARL GREY RAISIN SCONES WITH VANILLA GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F.
• Spray an 8-inch round cake pan with baking spray with flour.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. I traced the outside of a spring-form pan and then cut a circle so the parchment paper fits perfectly.
• In the work bowl of a food processor, place flour, sugar, baking powder, tea, and salt; pulse until combined. Add cold butter, and pulse until mixture start to get crumbly.
• Transfer the dough to a large bowl, and fold in raisins and 1 cup cream, stirring until combined.
• Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead briefly, just until dough comes together.
• Press dough into prepared cake pan. Then, using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut into 8 wedges.
• Transfer wedges to prepared (spray with Pam) baking sheet.
• In a small bowl, whisk together egg and remaining 1 teaspoon cream.
• Brush tops of scones with egg wash, and bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. (Make sure you check your scones at the 12 minute mark. If they are golden brown, they are done)
• For vanilla bean glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together confectioners' sugar and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm scones.
