Crisscross Scone Loaf Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line an 8-by-4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, allowing 1-inch wings to hang over the edges on the long sides.
• In a large mixing bowl, toss the marzipan with the powdered sugar to coat. Add the chocolate chips and set aside.
• In a food processor, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and 2 tablespoons of the sugar and pulse to combine. Add the butter cubes and pulse until the butter is the size of peas. Add this to the bowl with the marzipan.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk or cream, and extracts and add to the dry ingredients. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to stir until just combined.
• Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the top with remaining teaspoon of sugar and bake until golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.
• Cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes. Using the parchment wings, remove to the rack to cool completely. Cut with a serrated knife and serve with jam.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees with a rack in the upper third. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place strawberries in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Let sit until soft and pliable, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain, pat dry and coarsely chop.
• Place the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda in a large bowl and whisk to combine. Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the butter into the bowl, then toss until mixture resembles oatmeal. Alternatively, pulse all the dry ingredients together in a food processor. Cube the butter, add to the processor, and pulse until the mixture looks like oatmeal. Transfer mixture to a large bowl.
• Add strawberries and toss well.
• In a small bowl, whisk together buttermilk and egg. Add buttermilk mixture to flour mixture. Using a wooden spoon, stir until all the dry flour bits are incorporated, but the dough is still shaggy. Using your hands, knead and press the dough a few times while it's still in the bowl until the dough just holds together.
• Dump the dough out onto the prepared sheet pan. Pat the dough into a round loaf about 8 inches in diameter. Using a sharp knife, deeply score the loaf into 8 wedges (but don't cut all the way through). Brush the loaf all over with buttermilk and sprinkle generously with sugar.
