Corn Scones Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• Mix flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt in medium bowl.
• Cut in butter using pastry blender or 2 knives, until mixture looks like fine crumbs.
• Stir in buttermilk so dough leaves sides of bowl and forms a ball.
• Turn dough onto lightly floured surface.
• Knead lightly 10 times.
• Pat or roll into 7 inch circle on ungreased cookie sheet that has been sprinkled with cornmeal.
• Score top into 8 wedges, cutting down halfway to the bottom.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until light brown.
• Immediately remove from cookie sheet, carefully separate wedges.
• Serve warm.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375ºF
• 2. Melt butter. Meanwhile, mix brown sugar into the milk then add melted butter.
• 3. In medium bowl, combine cornmeal and flour. Sprinkle in the salt and baking powder and mix together. Add the currents, if using.
• 4. Add milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined.
• 5. On a floured surface, press dough into and 8 inch circle that's about 1/2 inch thick. Slice circle into eights.
• 6. Separate wedges and place onto a greased baking sheet.
• 7. Bake for 15-20 minutes until puffed and golden.

Steps:

• Bring a pan of salted water to the boil. Hold a corn cob at a right angle to the chopping board, then run a sharp knife down the length of the cob, as close to the core as you can get, slicing away the rows of corn. Boil the kernels for 4 mins or until just tender, then drain well.
• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Mix the flour, baking powder, mustard, cayenne, 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp thyme leaves in a large bowl, then rub in the butter until the mix looks like fine crumbs. Tip in most of the cheese and all of the corn. Mix the milk with the lemon juice, then stir into the bowl to make a slightly sticky dough. Don't over-work the dough.
• Tip the dough onto the floured work surface, knead 2-3 times to smooth a little, then divide into 10 balls. Shape each roughly with your hands and put onto a floured baking sheet. Brush each with a little milk, then scatter with a little cheese, cayenne and a few thyme leaves. Bake for 10-12 mins or until the scones are risen, golden and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. Cool on a rack.

Steps:

• Put honey and bay leaf in a medium skillet over medium heat. Simmer until honey is bubbling and turns a shade darker, about 2 minutes.
• Place plums in honey. Cook, without moving, until undersides are golden brown, about 5 minutes. Stir plums and cook 1 to 2 minutes longer, until tender but not falling completely apart. If the caramel starts to get too brown, stir in a teaspoon or two of water and lower the heat. Scrape plums and syrup into a bowl and chill for at least 1 hour. (Plum compote can be made up to a week ahead.)
• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• In a small bowl or measuring cup, mix together the cream and egg.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt (or you can do this in a food processor). Using a fork, pastry cutter or your fingertips, cut butter into flour until the mixture forms coarse crumbs (or pulse in a food processor). Drizzle in as much of the cream mixture as you need to make a smooth, moist but not wet dough. Save remaining cream-egg mixture for brushing.
• Turn dough out onto prepared baking sheet. Pat into a 1 1/4-inch thick round. Using a paring knife, cut 8 wedge-shaped scones (as though you were cutting slices of pie) and push them apart on the baking sheet to separate them 1/2 inch apart. Brush dough with remaining cream-egg mixture, or use more cream if you've run out of the mixture.
• Using your fingertips, make a deep indentation about 1 inch in diameter in the center of each scone. Tuck some plum into the hole. Transfer pan to oven and bake until uniformly golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes. Cool 5 minutes on the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve scones with extra plum compote and butter on the side if you like.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°. Grease cookie sheet.
• Mix flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Cut in margarine, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in milk, egg, cheese and chilies.
• Turn dough onto lightly floured surface. Knead lightly 10 times. Pat or roll into an 8- inch circle on cookie sheet. Cut into 8 wedges, but do not separate.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet; carefully separate wedges. Serve warm with honey.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Put the flour, salt, baking powder and 2 tablespoons of the sugar in a food processor and pulse to combine. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles cornmeal.
• Add the egg and just enough cream to form a slightly sticky dough. If it's too sticky, add a little flour, but very little; it should still stick a little to your hands.
• Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead once or twice, then press it into a 3/4-inch-thick circle and cut into 2-inch rounds with a biscuit cutter or glass. Put the rounds on an ungreased baking sheet. Gently reshape the leftover dough and cut again. Brush the top of each scone with a bit of cream and sprinkle with a little of the remaining sugar.
• Bake for 9 to 11 minutes, or until the scones are a beautiful golden brown. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Grease cookie sheet with shortening or cooking spray. In large bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter, using pastry blender or fork, until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in milk, egg, cheese, chiles and bacon.
• Place dough on lightly floured surface. Knead lightly 10 times. On cookie sheet, roll or pat dough into 8-inch round. Cut into 8 wedges, but do not separate.
• Bake 18 to 23 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack; carefully separate wedges. Serve warm with honey.
