Stone Lion Inn Scones Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Measure dry ingredients and mix together in a bowl with a fork. Add dried fruit and mix so that fruit does not stick together.
• Add cream and stir until a dough forms. Gather dough together in bowl and turn out onto work surface dusted with flour. Knead 8 - 10 times until dough holds together.
• Pat dough into a circle approximately 10" in diameter and brush top with melted butter. At this point I sometimes sprinkle the top with coarse sugar. Cut dough into 12 triangles and place on buttered sheet pan (or use parchment paper on the sheet pan). Bake for 15 minutes until just golden. Transfer to cooling rack.
• Makes 12 scones.

Steps:

• Sift together flour, sugar, salt, and baking power.
• Rub in the Crisco and add raisins.
• Beat together the milk and eggs and add to the dry.
• Bake at 350°F; the size pan used will determine how long:.
• 10 3/4 inch cast iron frying pan: 1 hour.
• 8 inch cake pan: 30-35 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients.
• Work in the butter just until the mixture is unevenly crumbly; it's OK for some larger chunks of butter to remain unincorporated.
• In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla or other flavor, and half and half or milk.
• Stir in the fruit, chips, and/or nuts, if you're using them.
• Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until all is moistened and holds together.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment; if you don't have parchment, just use it without greasing it. Sprinkle a bit of flour atop the parchment or pan.
• Scrape the dough onto the floured parchment or pan, and divide it in half. Round each half into a 5" circle (if you haven't incorporated any add-ins); or a 6" circle (if you've added fruit, nuts, etc.). The circles should be about 3/4" thick.
• Brush each circle with milk, and sprinkle with coarse white sparkling sugar or cinnamon sugar, if desired.
• Using a knife or bench knife that you've run under cold water, slice each circle into 6 wedges.
• Carefully pull the wedges away from the center to separate them just a bit; there should be about 1/2" space between them, at their outer edges.
• For best texture and highest rise, place the pan of scones in the freezer for 30 minutes, uncovered. While the scones are chilling, preheat the oven to 425°F
• Bake the scones for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they're golden brown. When you pull one away from the others, it should look baked all the way through; the edge shouldn't look wet or unbaked.
• Remove the scones from the oven, and cool briefly on the pan. Serve warm. When they're completely cool, wrap in plastic and store at room temperature for up to several days.

Steps:

• Preheat oven until very hot!
• Melt butter, beat egg in a bowl and add milk.
• Mix baking powder, sugar flour and salt in a bowl.
• Pour 1 into 2, mix - not too much.
• Tip onto bench/board that is floured.
• Mix together until smooth.
• Pat down to ca. 2cm thick.
• Cut out.
• Push together slightly.
• Bake in moderate / hot (225°C) oven for 12-15 minutes.
• Serve with creme and jam (and tea!).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450* F.
• Mix all dry ingredients together, flour through salt.
• Add melted butter, milk and egg to combined dry ingredients; mix until dry ingredients are moistened.
• Stir in raisins.
• Shape dough to form a ball; pat out on lightly floured surface to form an 8 inch circle.
• Cut into 8 to 12 wedges.
• Bake on greased cookie sheet in 450* oven 12 to 15 minutes, or until light golden brown.
• Combine cream cheese& heavy cream with a hand mixer to make devonshire cream.
• Serve warm with a dollop of devonshire cream topped w/some orange marmalade.
• Trust me- they're best this way.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
• In a large bowl, mix the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, salt, and currants. Make a well in the center. In a small bowl, beat egg until frothy, and stir in melted butter and milk. Pour into the well, and mix to create a soft dough. Pat dough into two 1/2 inch thick circles. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Score 8 wedges into each circle of dough.
• Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until risen and browned. Split wedges, and serve warm.
