Savory Dill And Caraway Scones Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Combine 4 cups of flour, the baking powder, and salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add the butter and mix on low speed until the butter is in pea-sized pieces. Mix the eggs and heavy cream and quickly add them to the flour-and-butter mixture. Combine until just blended. Toss together the Cheddar, dill, and 1 tablespoon of flour and add them to the dough. Mix until they are almost incorporated.
• Dump the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead it for 1 minute, until the Cheddar and dill are well distributed. Roll the dough 3/4-inch thick. Cut into 4-inch squares and then in half diagonally to make triangles. Brush the tops with egg wash. Bake on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for 20 to 25 minutes, until the outside is crusty and the inside is fully baked.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, caraway seeds and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. In another bowl, whisk egg and milk; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. , Turn onto a floured surface; gently knead 6-8 times. Transfer dough to a greased baking sheet; pat into an 8-in. circle. Cut into eight wedges, but do not separate. Bake at 400° for 17-22 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Stir 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice into soy milk in a small bowl to make mock buttermilk. Let sit until curdled, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Mix flour, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, sugar, baking powder, dill, and salt together in a large bowl using a fork. Mix in butter with a pastry blender until dough starts to clump together.
• Whisk mock buttermilk, remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice, and egg together in a bowl. Pour over dough and mix gently with a fork just until incorporated.
• Dust work surface lightly with flour. Turn out dough and pat into an 8-inch disc. Fold in half and gently flatten back out into a disc. Repeat folding and flattening the dough 3 more times, to build fluffy layers in the dough.
• Transfer disc of dough to the baking sheet and brush with beaten egg. Cut into 8 wedges and pull wedges apart so they are not touching.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden, about 10 minutes.
• Remove scones from oven. Combine Parmesan cheese and black pepper together in a small bowl; sprinkle on top of the scones.
• Return to the oven and bake until golden brown and edges look dry, about 10 minutes more.

Steps:

• Put the butter in the freezer until solid, at least 45 minutes.
• In a large, dry skillet over medium heat, toast the caraway seeds until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to a small bowl. Add the onions to the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook until they begin to turn dark brown and somewhat soft, about 5 minutes. Add the oil and a pinch of the fine sea salt; continue cooking until the onions are soft and caramelized, about 5 minutes longer. Cool completely.
• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, .5 teaspoon of the fine salt and the caraway seeds. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, egg and honey.
• Remove the butter from the freezer. Using the large holes of a box grater, grate about .25 of the butter. Gently toss it into the flour mixture. Repeat with the remaining butter, adding about .25 at a time.
• Stir the wet mixture into the flour-butter mixture. Stir in the onions and currants or raisins. Stir dough until it just comes together.
• On a lightly floured surface, pat the dough into a .75-inch-thick round. Cut into eight wedges. Transfer dough to the prepared baking sheet, allowing 1 inch between each scone. Brush the tops of the scones with a little sour cream and sprinkle with sugar and flaky sea salt.
• Bake scones until the undersides are golden brown but the tops are still a bit soft, 15 to 17 minutes. Cool 10 minutes before serving. They are best served warm.
