Sour Cream Scones With Banana Jam And Vanilla Cream Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees with a rack in the upper third. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Using the large holes of a box grater, grate butter directly into the dry ingredients, stopping a few times along the way to toss the butter pieces into the flour. Use your fingers to work the butter into slightly smaller pieces. Add cherries and toss to combine.
• In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream and milk. Add to the flour mixture, and use a fork to stir until all the dry flour bits are incorporated, but the dough is still shaggy. Smoosh and knead the dough a few times until it barely holds together, then dump the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface.
• Pat dough to a 1-inch-thick rectangle. Cut into 8 squares, transfer to the prepared sheet, and brush the tops with beaten egg.
• Bake until golden brown, 18 to 22 minutes. Let cool slightly. Scones will keep, covered at room temperature, for 3 days. Reheat, if you like, in a toaster oven or at 350 degrees until warmed through.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 230°C.
• Place flour and salt in a large mixing bowl and make a well in the centre and stir in sour cream and milk to form a soft dough.
• Knead lightly on a floured surface until just smooth.
• Pat to 2cm thickness and cut into round with a floured 4cm to 5cm scone cutter, taking care not to twist as you cut.
• Place on a oven tray and brush only the tops with milk and then place in the oven in the top upper half and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until puffed and golden brown.
• Banana Jam - combine 1/4 cup thicken cream in a fry pan and brown sugar and heat until melted and then add bananas and cinnamon and simmer for 10 minutes stirring occasionally, until thick and jam like.
• Vanilla Cream - lightly whip remaining cream, sugar and vanilla together until soft peaks form.
• Serve scones with banana jam and vanilla cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°.
• Combine first 7 ingredients in a bowl.
• Add the butter and cut in with pastry blender until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.
• Mash the bananas, add heavy cream and mix well.
• Combine with flour mixture thoroughly to make soft dough (don't overmix).
• If dough is sticky, add a little more flour. If dry, add a little more cream.
• Knead briefly on a lightly floured surface and then make dough 1/2-inch thick.
• Cut into rounds using a 3-1/2-inch cutter; brush tops with melted butter.
• Sprinkle generously with the 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1 cup sugar combined.
• Place scones at least 2 inches apart on non-stick baking sheet.
• Bake in center of oven about 13-15 minutes, or until bottoms are browned.
• Serve warm with butter or jam.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Tip the self-raising flour into a large bowl with ¼ tsp salt and the baking powder, then mix.
• Add the butter, then rub in with your fingers until the mix looks like fine crumbs. Stir in the caster sugar.
• Put the milk into a jug and heat in the microwave for about 30 secs until warm, but not hot. Add the vanilla extract and a squeeze of lemon juice, then set aside for a moment.
• Put a baking tray in the oven. Make a well in the dry mix, then add the liquid and combine it quickly with a cutlery knife - it will seem pretty wet at first.
• Scatter some flour onto the work surface and tip the dough out. Dredge the dough and your hands with a little more flour, then fold the dough over 2-3 times until it's a little smoother. Pat into a round about 4cm deep. Take a 5cm cutter (smooth-edged cutters tend to cut more cleanly, giving a better rise) and dip it into some flour. Plunge into the dough, then repeat until you have four scones. You may need to press what's left of the dough back into a round to cut out another four.
• Brush the tops with a beaten egg, then carefully arrange on the hot baking tray. Bake for 10 mins until risen and golden on the top. Eat just warm or cold on the day of baking, generously topped with jam and clotted cream. If freezing, freeze once cool. Defrost, then put in a low oven (about 160C/140C fan/gas 3) for a few minutes to refresh.

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:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Place the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and butter in a food processor and plulse everything in 3-second intervals until it resembles course meal, (If doing this by hand, use 2 knives, a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles course meal).
• Transfer everything to a large bowl. Stir in heavy cream, egg, and vanilla mixing the dough by hand until it forms into a uniformed and slightly moistened dough. *You can also use your Kitchenaid with the dough hook on the slowest speed for a few minutes.
• divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Make dough to make 4 circles and 16 scones:.
• On a floured surface gently roll one portion at a time into a ball.
• Flatten the ball until your disk is approximately 3/4″ in height.
• Press down the outside of the dough circle so the center is slightly taller.
• Dampen tops of each disk with a 1/2 tsp milk or cream and evenly sprinkle sugar on top of each circle.
• Cut each circle in quarters.
• Bake on a ungreased cookie sheet, or line a baking sheet with parchment paper and bake for 15 minutes or until they are lightly golden brown. Remove scones from baking sheet and cool on a wire rack.
• Serve with butter and jam. Enjoy!
