This scone recipe, found and adapted from joyofbaking.com is truly one of the most delicious scone recipes I have tried. Can a scone be rich, dense, moist, and yet flaky and fluffy at the same time? I didn't think it was possible, until I made these. My opinion has been changed forever. These are scrumptious!
INGREDIENTS
- 1 3/4 cups flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 stick butter, frozen
- 3/4 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup+ dried cranberries
- zest of one orange
- 2/3 cup of buttermilk
Glaze
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat oven to 375F. In a large bowl mix the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda and baking powder. Grate in the frozen cube of butter, then stir to combine with flour mixture. Add the rolled oats, dried cranberries and orange zest. Stir in the buttermilk (adding more buttermilk if necessary) and mix just until the dough comes together.
2. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead the dough into a smooth round. Pat the dough into a circle that is about 7 inches round and about 1 1/2 inches thick. Cut into 8 triangular pieces. Place the scones on a nonstick baking sheet. Glaze with egg wash.
3. Bake for about 15 minutes (check at 10) or until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
