JOANNE CHANG'S MAPLE-BLUEBERRY SCONES
These scones, created by Joanne Chang for her Flour Bakery & Cafe in Boston, are studded with fresh blueberries, sweetened with maple syrup and made with a blend of whole-wheat and all-purpose flours - but don't think of them as health food. They've also got crème fraîche and plenty of butter. They're big. They're glazed. And they've got a singular texture: tender, like a layer cake, but also flaky, like a traditional scone. It wasn't until I made them myself that I realized that their texture is different because the technique is different: Most scone recipes call for the butter to be rubbed into the flour mixture until it's coated with flour. In Ms. Chang's recipe, half the butter gets this treatment, which makes the scones characteristically flaky. The other half of the butter is beaten into the dry ingredients so that it becomes the coating for the flour, making the scones tender.

Steps:
- In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, briefly mix both flours, the baking powder, baking soda and salt on low speed. Add half the butter and paddle until fully mixed into the flour, 2 to 3 minutes. (This will coat the flour with butter so the scones are tender.)
- Add the remaining butter to the bowl of the stand mixer. Pulse the mixer three or four times to mix the pieces into the dough while keeping them whole. (This step will give you small pieces of butter in the dough, which will help the scones be a bit flaky.)
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the crème fraîche, maple syrup, buttermilk and yolk until thoroughly mixed. Stir in the blueberries. With the mixer on low, pour the blueberry mixture into the flour mixture, and paddle on low for about 10 seconds to get some of the liquid mixed into the flour. Stop the mixer, and mix the rest of the loose flour into the dough by hand: Gather and lift the dough with your hands and turn it over in the bowl several times until all the loose flour is mixed in. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap it well and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or for up to 1 day. (This gives the flour time to fully absorb the liquid.)
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees, and position a rack in the center. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Using a 1/2-cup measuring cup or ice cream scoop, scoop out 8 mounds of chilled dough, and place them on the baking sheet a few inches apart. Bake scones for 35 to 45 minutes, rotating the baking sheet midway through the baking time, until the scones are evenly golden brown and firm when you press them.
- While the scones are baking, make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar and enough maple syrup to make a thick, spreadable glaze. Use immediately, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. Rewhisk before using.
- As soon as you remove the scones from the oven, use a pastry brush to brush them with the glaze while they're warm. Let cool on the baking sheet for 30 minutes, then serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Add frozen blueberries and white chocolate chips; stir until evenly distributed and blueberries are coated.
- Whisk 1/2 cup heavy cream, egg, and maple extract together in a small bowl.
- Remove butter from the freezer and grate onto a plate with a box grater. (I recommend using the biggest size grating side.) Add butter to the flour mixture and toss a couple of times to evenly distribute and cover the butter pieces. Drizzle cream-egg mixture over the flour mixture while stirring. Continue tossing until incorporated, about 30 seconds; dough will be shaggy at this point. Work dough with your hands until it forms a single mass.
- Lift and place dough onto a lightly floured surface. Shape into a 1-inch thick circle. Use a knife or scraper to cut dough into 8 triangular-shaped pieces.
- Place scones onto the prepared baking sheet, about 1/2 inch to 1 inch apart. Brush the tops with remaining 3 tablespoons heavy cream.
- Bake in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool until they can be handled but are still warm, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine confectioners' sugar and vanilla in a bowl. Slowly add milk, stirring until you get a drizzling consistency.
- Drizzle glaze over the warm scones, back and forth in a zig-zag pattern. Arrange scones on a dish and allow glaze to set for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Sift together the dry ingredients; the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Using 2 forks or a pastry blender, cut in the butter to coat the pieces with the flour. The mixture should look like coarse crumbs. Fold the blueberries into the batter. Take care not to mash or bruise the blueberries because their strong color will bleed into the dough. Make a well in the center and pour in the heavy cream. Fold everything together just to incorporate; do not overwork the dough.
- Press the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about 12 by 3 by 1 1/4 inches. Cut the rectangle in 1/2 then cut the pieces in 1/2 again, giving you 4 (3-inch) squares. Cut the squares in 1/2 on a diagonal to give you the classic triangle shape. Place the scones on an ungreased cookie sheet and brush the tops with a little heavy cream. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until beautiful and brown. Let the scones cool a bit before you apply the glaze.
- You can make the lemon glaze in a double boiler, or for a simpler alternative, you can zap it in the microwave. Mix the lemon juice with the confectioners' until dissolved in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water for the double-boiler method, or in a microwave-safe bowl. Whisk in the butter and lemon zest. Either nuke the glaze for 30 seconds or continue whisking in the double boiler. Whisk the glaze to smooth out any lumps, then drizzle the glaze over the top of the scones. Let it set a minute before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour and the cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the 2 2/3 cups flour, all but 1 tablespoon of the sugar, the baking powder and the salt and mix well. Using a pastry cutter, cut the well-chilled butter into the dry ingredients, working quickly, until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Beat the egg with 1/2 cup of the milk and, using a fork, combine this mixture with the flour and butter mixture.
- Divide the dough into 2 balls. Lightly flour a work surface and roll each ball into a 7-inch circle. Sprinkle the blueberries across 1 circle. Top with the second circle and use your hands to carefully mesh the circles together. Pat or lightly roll the dough out until the circle is about 12 inches across. (Don't mush the berries.)
- Cut the circle into 10 wedges. Brush the tops of the scones with the remaining milk, dust with the remaining sugar and transfer to 1 or more ungreased baking sheets, leaving an inch between each scone. Bake 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

MAPLE SCONES
The maple flavor shines through without being overpowering in this recipe, adapted from the Samuel Sewall Inn, in Brookline, Mass. It's more of a traditional scone, not cakey and soft, but crumbly and robust - strong enough to stand up to a slathering of Irish butter. They're best served warm, on a fall morning, alongside a cup of tea or a strong cup of coffee.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, combine whole-wheat flour, 1 cup white flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Using a pastry blender, or two knives scissors-fashion, cut butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles fine crumbs.
- Add nuts or wheat berries. Stir in the maple syrup and egg and just enough milk so that dough leaves side of bowl and forms a ball. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; gently roll in flour to coat. Knead lightly; if dough is very soft, roll in flour again. Transfer to a lightly greased baking sheet. Pat or roll into an 8-inch disk; cut into 8 wedges, but do not separate.
- Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Immediately remove from baking sheet, and carefully separate. Serve warm.
