Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a large mixing bowl, cut the butter into small cubes. This will make it easier to incorporate into the dry ingredients.
- Add the 16g (1 tbsp) of sugar to the bowl with the butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to rub the butter into the sugar until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour the 72g (1/3 cup) of passion fruit pulp into the bowl. Stir gently to combine, ensuring the passion fruit pulp is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Fold in the chopped white chocolate pieces. Make sure the chocolate is evenly dispersed throughout the dough.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead the dough to bring it together, being careful not to overwork it. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick.
- Use a sharp knife or a round cutter to cut the dough into 8 scones. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between them for expansion during baking.
- Bake the scones in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the scones to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use cold butter: Cold butter helps create a flaky texture in your scones. Cut it into small pieces and mix it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Don’t overmix the dough: Overmixing can lead to tough scones. Combine the ingredients just until they come together. It's okay if the dough looks a bit crumbly.
- Handle the dough lightly: Lightly pat the dough into shape rather than using a rolling pin. This helps keep the scones tender.
- Use fresh passionfruit: For the best flavor, use fresh passionfruit. If fresh fruit is not available, high-quality passionfruit puree can be used as a substitute.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for about 15-20 minutes before baking helps the scones keep their shape and enhances their texture.
- Bake at a high temperature: A hot oven (usually around 425°F/220°C) helps the scones rise quickly and develop a golden, crispy exterior.
These White Chocolate and Passionfruit Scones are truly a delightful fusion of flavors. The sweetness of the white chocolate pairs perfectly with the tartness of the passionfruit, creating a scone that is both rich and refreshing. Serve them warm with a dollop of cream or a smear of butter, and enjoy a bite of tropical paradise.
