which was an adaptation of Claridge\u2019s afternoon tea scones,<\/p>\n
and I found I had a recipe very like my usual baked scones.<\/p>\n
However, I got a comment from Brydie, of Cityhippyfarmgirl-<\/p>\n
(look at my blog roll on the side to find her website) and she<\/p>\n
had added vanilla and maple syrup to her scones. <\/p>\n
That sounded good to me- so I made that adjustment and baked up <\/p>\n these beauties this morning.<\/p>\n I changed up the recipe to my tastes- feel free to do the same for yours!<\/p>\n Misked- Match Scones w\/ maple syrup, vanilla and currants.<\/p>\n Ingredients:<\/p>\n 2 2\/3 cups of AP flour<\/p>\n 2 1\/2 Tablespoons baking powder<\/p>\n 1 pinch salt<\/p>\n 1\/3 cup (or less) of white sugar<\/p>\n 1\/2 cup cold unsalted butter<\/p>\n 3\/4 cup heavy whipping cream<\/p>\n 1\/2 cup cold milk<\/p>\n 4 Tablespoons maple syrup<\/p>\n seeds from 1\/2 vanilla bean<\/p>\n 3\/4 cup dried Zante currants<\/p>\n beaten egg for wash<\/p>\n Preheat oven to 425 F.

Make a well in center of flour\/butter mixture and pour cream, milk, and <\/p>\n maple syrup and then using fork, mix gently, pulling the flour mix into the liquid<\/p>\n mixture until all of dough is wet. It will be a little sticky. Put into fridge for <\/p>\n about 10 minutes, then tip onto parchment paper, or into round shortbread<\/p>\n stone- <\/em>I didn\u2019t get a good definition of the flowers on my scones, but it helped me <\/p>\n to cut them evenly and with a strong edge.<\/p>\n Place on parchment paper on baking sheet and separate slightly so that they<\/p>\n have space to raise in the oven during baking.<\/p>\n Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes in my oven.<\/p>\n I added a little cr\u00e8me fraiche, and orange marmalade-<\/p>\n Delicious!<\/p>\n I guess it is still scone week so I can post another recipe. I converted the metric measurements from Misk’s recipe, which was an adaptation of Claridge\u2019s afternoon tea scones, and I found I had a recipe very like my … Continue reading ![\"004\"](\"http:\/\/heidiannie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/004_thumb.jpg\" "\\"004\\"")
