📋 Dried Fruit and Ginger Scones
📝 Ingredients
- •1 tbsp baking powder
- •5 tbsp butter, cut into cubes
- •1 cup cake flour
- •1/4 cup chopped candied ginger
- •1/4 cup dried apples
- •1/4 cup chopped dried cranberries
- •1 cup all-purpose flour
- •¼ cup heavy cream
- •½ tsp salt
- •4 tbsp turbinado sugar
- •¾ cup whole milk
👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Position a rack in the middle of your oven and preheat to 425F. If you will be baking on a pizza stone, put it in the oven to preheat as well. If you will be using a cookie sheet, line it with parchment paper and set it aside.
- 2
Whisk together the flours, baking powder, 3 TB of the sugar, and salt in a medium bowl.
- 3
Cut in the butter using a pastry blender, two knives, or your fingers, until the largest chunks of butter are the size of small peas.
- 4
Pour in the cream and milk (or just use all cream, if you have it) and mix it around with a fork until an evenly hydrated, extremely sticky dough forms.
- 5
Add the fruits and mix again until evenly distributed (you may have to work a bit to break up the ginger pieces).Dump the sticky mass out onto a well-floured board.
- 6
Sprinkle a little flour on top as well, then pat the dough out into a circle about 1-inch thick. Try not to add too much flour, lest they become dense and tough. Dip a pizza cutter or other thin, sharp knife into flour, then cut the circle into 8 equal sized pieces. You may need to scrape off and re-flour your slicing instrument between slices.Using a bench scraper, a thin spatula, or (if you are brave) your hands, relocate your 8 scones to your prepared baking vessel, spacing them a half inch or so apart (they will puff and rise a little bit, but not tremendously).
- 7
Sprinkle the tops with the remaining 1 TB of sugar.
- 8
Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until lightly golden on top and cooked through.Cool at least 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Eat warm or cool.
