Yep, that's right. Cherry chocolate chip scones. This will be the third scone species tested. The recipe is identical to that of
blackberry chocolate chip scones, which is a simple modification of
chocolate chip scones. As you can tell the common ingredient in all my scones is chocolate chips.
Ingredients:
2 C flour
1/4 C wht sugar
1 & 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 C butter cubed (chilled)
1/2 C chocolate chips
1 C fresh pitted, halved/quartered cherries
1 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 C buttermilk
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400oF, set oven rack to middle, line baking sheet with parchment paper
Pit and halve/quarter 1 C fresh cherries
Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt
Cut in butter (using pastry knife)
Stir in chocolate chips and cherries
In separate bowl whisk buttermilk and vanilla, add to dry
Stir just until dough comes together (don't overmix)
On floured surface nead dough 4-5x
Pat dough 1.5" thick and cut into 8 wedges. Place on baking sheet
Brush tops with milk
Bake 15-20 mins (until golden brown)
Cool and enjoy!
I think I'll make these this week.
ReplyDeleteDo you ever use a Cuisinart to cut butter into dry ingredients? It makes my life much easier.
I have not thought to use a cuisinart, but that sounds like a great idea. Do you first chop/cube the butter or just blend it in?
