Ginger Pecan Scones Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Arrange two racks evenly spaced in the oven. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, combine the 3 tablespoons flour with the chocolate and pecans and set aside.
• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the 4 cups flour, the sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and, with the mixer on low speed, blend until the butter is the size of peas. Measure the cream in a 2-cup glass measuring cup, add the eggs, and beat until combined. With the mixer still on low, pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and combine just until blended. Add the chocolate and pecan mixture and mix just until combined. The dough will be very sticky.
• Dump the dough out onto a very well-floured surface and knead it a few times to be sure the chocolate and pecans are well distributed, adding a little flour so the dough doesn't stick to the board. Flour your hands and a rolling pin and roll the dough 3/4 to 1 inch thick. You should see lumps of butter in the dough. Cut the dough with a 3-inch plain round cutter and place the scones on the prepared sheet pans. Reroll the scraps and cut out more scones. Brush the tops with the egg wash, sprinkle with sugar, and bake for 20 minutes, switching the pans halfway through, until the tops are lightly browned and the insides are fully baked. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk cream and 3 tablespoons maple syrup together in a bowl.
• Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a food processor; pulse 3 times to combine. Drop cold butter pieces evenly over top and continue to pulse until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal, about 6 pulses.
• Transfer flour mixture to a large bowl. Add toasted pecans and cream mixture. Stir until dough begins to come together.
• Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until a rough, sticky ball forms. Divide into 2 balls and flatten slightly. Cut each circle into 4 wedges and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake on the middle rack of the preheated oven until tops are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a baking rack, about 10 minutes.
• While the scones are cooling, whisk 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar and 2 tablespoons maple syrup together until well combined.
• Drizzle glaze over scones.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Zest lemons. Juice lemons into a measuring cup, adding water as needed, until 7 tablespoons liquid is reached. Combine lemon zest, lemon juice, coconut milk, chia seeds, and vanilla extract together in a bowl; set aside to thicken, about 10 minutes.
• Dice chilled coconut oil on a work surface. Combine flour, sugar, cream of tartar, baking soda, ground ginger, and salt together in the bowl of a food processor; pulse to combine. Add coconut oil and pulse just until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add coconut milk mixture and pulse just until dough begins to clump and form a ball.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface; gently knead in pecans and hemp seeds to distribute. Separate dough into 2 equal portions; pat or roll each into a 1-inch thick round. Cut into 8 wedge-shaped pieces and place onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 25 to 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425°F; line large baking sheet with parchment.
• Whisk flour, 2/3 cup sugar, baking powder, ground ginger, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and baking soda in large bowl.
• Add butter; using fingertips, blend butter into flour until coarse meal forms. Toss in pecans and 1/2 cup crystallized ginger.
• Whisk 1 cup buttermilk, grated ginger, and vanilla in measuring cup.
• Form well in center of dry ingredients.
• Add buttermilk; stir with fork until moist clumps form. Transfer to lightly floured surface.
• Knead just until dough comes together; divide in half.
• Form each half into 61/2-inch disk. Cut each disk into 6 wedges. Transfer to sheet.
• Brush with 11/2 tablespoons buttermilk. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar and 3 tablespoons crystallized ginger; press to adhere.
• Bake scones until golden and toothpick inserted horizontally into center comes out clean, about 20 minutes.
• Cool scones on sheet on rack.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt.
• Cut the cold butter into small pieces. Cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles crumbs.
• Now finely chop the pecans and stir them into the flour mixture. Mix the egg and cream together. Add the mixture to the bowl and stir until just combined.
• Turn the mixture onto a cutting board. The dough will be very crumbly, but do not let your heart be troubled. With your hands, push the mixture together into a large ball. Do not knead or press too much; you want to leave that gluten alone!
• With a rolling pin, very gently roll out the dough into a 10-inch round, about 3/4 inch thick. With a sharp knife, cut the round into 8 equal-size wedges.
• Transfer the wedges to a baking sheet lined with a Silpat baking mat. (Or just spray the pan with cooking spray; either one will work!) Bake the scones for 22 to 26 minutes, until they're just barely starting to brown. Do not allow the edges to become dark or the Red Coats will come and get you. Allow the scones to cool completely before icing.
• In a medium mixing bowl, stir the icing ingredients until smooth. Pour generously over the scones and sprinkle with pecans. Allow the icing to set before serving.

Steps:

• Adjust the oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 400&Deg; F.
• In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade or in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder, and pulse or mix on low to incorporate. Add the lemon zest and butter, and pulse on and off, or mix on low, untl the mixture is pale yellow and the consistency of fine meal.
• Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and stir in the ginger. Make a well in the center and pour in the cream. Using one hand, draw in the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
• Wash and dry your hands and dust them with flour. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and gently knead a few times to gather it into a ball. Roll or pat the dough into a circle about 3/4 inch thick. Cut out the circles, cutting as closely together as possible and keeping the trimmings intact.
• Gather the scraps, pat and press the pieces back together, and cut out the remaining dough. Place the scones 1 inch apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Brush the tops with the remaining cream.
• Bake for 12 to 16 minutes, until the surface cracks and they are slightly browned.
