Apple Raisin Scones Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine 4 cups flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, the baking powder, and salt in an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Blend in the cold butter at the lowest speed and mix until the butter is in pea-sized pieces. Combine the eggs and heavy cream and quickly add to the flour/butter mixture. Combine until just blended. Combine the raisins and 1 tablespoon flour and then add to the dough and mix quickly. The dough may be a bit sticky.
• Dump the dough out onto a floured surface and be sure it is well combined. Flour your hands and a rolling pin and roll the dough out to 3/4-inch to 1-inch thick. You will see lumps of butter in the dough. Cut into squares with a 4-inch cutter and then cut in half diagonally to make triangles. Place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Brush the scones with the egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the outsides are crisp and the insides are done.

Steps:

• 1. In a large bowl stir together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
• 2. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• 3. In a medium bowl, toss diced apples with cinnamon.
• 4. Then add to the large bowl along with the raisins. Stir.
• 5. In a medium bowl combine sour cream, egg and bourbon.
• 6. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add this all at once.
• 7. Stir until combined.
• 8. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Quickly knead by gently folding and pressing for about 10-12 strokes. Pat into about a 12 inch circle.
• 9. Using a 3-inch cookie cutter cut out about 8 circles.
• 10. Place the scones on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• 11. With your fingers rub some egg wash on the top of each scone.
• 12. Sprinkle with the coarse sugar.
• 13. Bake at 375 for 15 minutes until edges begin to brown.
• 14. While cooling whip the cream and sugar with a hand mixer. When whipped, fold in the bourbon.
• 15. Serve prepared cream with the scones.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C), with racks in the upper and lower thirds. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Add the butter and toss to coat the cubes with flour. Cut the butter into the flour by rubbing it between your forefingers and thumbs until the butter pieces are between the size of peas and walnut halves. Add the chopped apples and toss gently to combine.
• Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the cream. Toss the mixture with your fingers to combine, then knead gently to ensure everything is evenly moistened.
• Scoop 1/4-cup mounds of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets (I do this by hand because I like them to look craggy, but you can use a No. 16 (1/4-cup scoop)), leaving at least 1 1/2 inches between them. Brush the tops of the scones with the egg wash and sprinkle generously with turbinado sugar.
• Bake the scones, switching the sheets from front to back and top to bottom at the halfway mark, for 20 to 22 minutes, until the tops and edges are golden brown. The scones can be served warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 deg F.
• Mix together dry ingredients.
• Cut in shortening as you would for a pie crust.
• Stir in apples and raisins.
• Add enough juice to make a stiff dough.
• On floured surface, roll dough about 1/2" thick.Apprx. 8 in circle.
• Cut into triangles and bake on cookie sheet for 20-25 minutes, or until light brown.
• Remove from oven and dust with 1 TBsp confectioners sugar.
• Let cool.
• Separte triangles.

Steps:

• Measure flour, sugar, baking powder, soda, and salt into a large bowl. Cut in butter or margarine until crumbly. Add shredded apple and milk. Stir to form a soft dough.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead gently 8 to 10 times. Pat into two 6-inch circles. Place on greased baking sheet. Brush tops with milk, and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon. Score each into 6 pie-shaped wedges.
• Bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 15 minutes, or until browned and risen. Serve warm with butter.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine everything except the half-and-half until just combined. Do not over mix. (Mixture will not be creamed, just mixed together.)
• Quickly pour in 1 1/4 cups of the half-and-half while mixing quickly. If the dough appears at all dry add the remaining 1/4 cups of half & half until just combined. Again, do not over mix.
• Turn the dough out onto a very well floured surface. If the dough is very sticky, flour the top of the dough also. Pat the mixture into a layer 3/4 to 1-inch thick. Using a 2-inch diameter round cutter, cut out the scones, dipping the cutter into flour each time between cuts. Place each scone, as cut, onto a parchment paper covered sheet pan leaving 2 to 3 inches between each scone. This should make 12 round scones. (You can also form dough into rectangular shape and cut with a knife into 12 square or triangle scones.)
• Bake for about 18 minutes or until golden brown on both the top and bottom of scones.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.
• Quickly shred butter into the flour mixture. Using a fork, gently work butter into the flour until it is the consistency of coarse crumbs.
• Whisk buttermilk and egg together in a small bowl and pour over the flour mixture. Use a spatula to combine until just moist. Gently fold in chopped apples, using your hands if necessary, until it just comes together. Do not over mix the dough.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, divide in half, and pat each half into a 5-inch circle. Using a bench scraper or knife coated with cooking spray, cut into 6 wedges. Place wedges, not touching, on the prepared cookie sheet
• Bake in the preheated oven until light golden brown, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, about 30 minutes.
• Whisk confectioners' sugar, maple syrup, and cinnamon together until a smooth glaze forms. Drizzle over scones and garnish with grated nutmeg.

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine dry ingredients. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in raisins and buttermilk just until moistened. Turn onto a floured surface; knead gently 6-8 times. Pat into an 8-in. circle and cut into 12 wedges. Place 1 in. apart on a greased baking sheet. Beat egg white until foamy; brush over scones. Sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 425° for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt into a mixing bowl and rub in butter. Add apples and 6 tablespoons brown sugar. Add 1/2 cup milk and work into a dough.
• Press into a 6- to 7-inch round on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with 1 tablespoon milk and sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Score into 8 segments without cutting all the way through.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Whisk together flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cut in butter with a pastry blender or rub in with your fingers. (The largest pieces should be the size of small peas.) With your fingertips, flatten butter pieces into small disks. Add apples and buttermilk, stirring until dough just comes together.
• Turn out dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Pat dough into a 6-by-8-inch rectangle, and cut into twelve 2-by-2-inch squares with a floured knife. Place about 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Brush tops with buttermilk, and sprinkle with raw turbinado sugar and oats. Bake until golden brown, 20 to 22 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Let cool on sheets for 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
