Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons cold butter
2 eggs
1 cup whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks
1/2 cup dried cherries
1 teaspoon water

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F. Grease cookie sheet with shortening or cooking spray.
  • In large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Cut in butter, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until mixture forms coarse crumbs. In medium bowl, beat 1 of the eggs with fork. Stir in whipping cream and vanilla. Stir in chocolate chunks and cherries until combined. Pour over crumb mixture; stir just until moistened (do not overmix).
  • Place dough on lightly floured surface. Knead lightly 4 times; pat into 7-inch circle, about 1 inch thick. Transfer to cookie sheet. In small bowl, beat remaining egg; stir in water. Brush egg mixture lightly over top of dough; discard any remaining egg mixture. Cut into 8 wedges; separate slightly so wedges aren't touching.
  • Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack; cool 10 minutes. Serve warm.

WHIPPED CREAM SCONES WITH CHOCOLATE AND CHERRIES



Whipped Cream Scones With Chocolate and Cherries image

Chocolate and cherry is a classic combination, but how these scones come together is what makes them really special: Lightly whipping the cream before folding it into the dough creates tiny air bubbles that result in a scone that leans more toward cake than bread. They also develop a delicate, crackly crust and a melt-in-your-mouth creaminess. On top of the chocolate chunks, tart cherries and the fluffiness, here's another reason to love these scones: The dough is made by hand and doesn't require rolling or cutting, meaning less mess in the kitchen.

Time 30m

Yield 12 scones

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups/255 grams all-purpose flour
1/4 cup/50 grams granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup/180 milliliters heavy whipping cream, chilled
1/2 cup/115 grams salted butter (1 stick), cut into 1/2-inch cubes and chilled
3 ounces/85 grams bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup/75 grams dried tart cherries
Sparkling sugar, for sprinkling (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Whisk the cream in a medium bowl until thickened to the consistency of pancake batter.
  • Toss the butter in the flour mixture to coat, then press the cubes flat using your fingers. Add the chocolate and cherries and toss until well coated. Add the whipped cream and rake through the dry ingredients with fingers spread wide on one hand while rotating the bowl with the other hand. Keep mixing, scraping clumps off your hand as needed, until all the dry bits are moistened and form large, shaggy clumps.
  • Gently gather small handfuls of dough (about 1/4 cup each) and gently roll into 12 balls. Place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
  • Sprinkle with sparkling sugar, if using, and bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack and let cool, about 5 minutes. Serve warm or room temperature.
