Fruit scones are a delightful treat that perfectly blends sweetness and a touch of savory goodness. With raisins adding bursts of flavor and the buttermilk ensuring a tender texture, these scones are perfect for any time of day. Follow this simple recipe to bake a batch that will impress your family and friends.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of self-raising flour, 2 tbsp of sugar, and 1/3 cup of raisins.
- Finely mince the 2 garlic cloves and add them to the dry ingredients. Stir to evenly distribute.
- Add the chilled butter cubes to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, mix 1 cup of buttermilk and 1 cup of heavy whipping cream together.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and gently stir until just combined. Do not over-mix, as this will make the scones tough.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently pat the dough into a square or rectangle about 1-inch thick. Cut the dough into squares or use a round cutter to shape the scones.
- Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle 2 tsp of brown sugar evenly over the top of the scones for a sweet, caramelized finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy them warm!
Tips:
- Ensure your butter is cold before incorporating it into the flour. This helps create a flaky texture.
- Soak the raisins for a few minutes in warm water to plump them up before adding them to the dough.
- Do not overmix the dough to avoid tough scones; mix just until combined.
- Use a lightly floured surface to roll out the dough so it doesn’t stick.
- Brush the tops of the scones with a bit of heavy cream before baking for a beautiful, golden-brown finish.
Once your fruit scones are baked to golden perfection, serve them warm with a pat of butter or a dollop of cream. Enjoy them as a delightful breakfast, a charming afternoon snack, or a scrumptious dessert. Happy baking!
