Recipes
Here are recipes from our wonderful Fellowship Sunday breakfast, from our own Sarah West:
cream scones (i added 1/2 c. of apricots and pine nuts) from baking illustrated
Ingredients:
2 cups (10 ounces) unbleached all-purpose flour, preferably a
lower-protein brand, such as Gold Medal or Pillsbury
1 Tbsp baking powder
3 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
5 Tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1/2 cup dried fruit or nuts
1 cup heavy cream
Instructions:
1. Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to
425°F (220°C).
2. Place the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt in a large bowl or
the workbowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Whisk
together or process with six 1-second pulses.
3. If making by hand, use two knives, a pastry blender, or your
fingertips and quickly cut in the butter until the mixture resembles
coarse meal with a few slightly larger butter lumps. If using a food
processor, remove the cover and distribute the butter evenly over the
dry ingredients. Cover and process with twelve 1-second pulses. Add
the currants and quickly mix in or pulse one more time. Transfer the
dough to a large bowl.
4. Stir in the heavy cream with a rubber spatula or fork until the
dough begins to form, about 30 seconds.
5. Transfer the dough and all dry flour bits to a countertop and knead
the dough by hand just until it comes together into a rough, slightly
sticky ball, 5 to 10 seconds. Press the dough into an 8-inch cake pan,
then turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work-surface. With a
sharp knife or bench scraper, cut the dough into 8 wedges. Place the
wedges on an ungreased baking sheet. (The baking sheet can be wrapped
in plastic and refrigerated for up to 2 hours before baking.)
6. Bake until the scone tops are light brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool
on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room
temperature.
