Cranberry Maple Scones
Recipe by Fork Knife Spoon & Stuart Lorriman
Ingredient:
3 cups all purpose floor
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp kosher salt
12 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into small chunks
¾ cup pf whole milk
½ tsp pure vanilla extract
½ cup pure Maple Syrup
1 cup of cranberries -fresh or frozen
Optional: Demerara sugar for topping sprinkle on just before baking for crunch and sparkle
Depending on season the cranberry can be substituted for raspberries and lemon.
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven at 375 F line a large sheet with parchment paper
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. Use a blender to incorporate the butter into the dry ingredients, until it looks like a sandy mixture, with butter pieces about the size small peas.
4. Drizzle the milk, vanilla and maple syrup over the crumbs and use a spatula to stir until mostly combined.
5. When crumbs are mostly moistened, switch to using your hands and fold in the cranberries
6. Gently and firmly knead the dough, until all the flour mixture is combined, now a large clump. Work quickly so butter does not warm up too much, important do not over work the dough.
7. Shape the dough into a flat, round disk, about 1-1/2 inches thick.
8. Use a sharp knife cut dough into 6 equal wedges
9. Transfer to a prepared cookie sheet, lightly brush the tops of the scones with milk and sanding sugar
Bake 20-30 minutes until lightly brown, puffed and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and serve warm
