Seabuckthorn Berry & Basil Cream Scones
By: Renée Kohlman
By: Renée Kohlman
Ingredients:
2 1/4 cups | all purpose flour |
1 tbsp | baking powder |
1/4 cup | granulated sugar |
1/2 tsp | salt |
6 tbsp | cold, unsalted butter |
1 cup | seabuckthorn berries |
4 tbsp | fresh basil, minced |
1 cup | heavy cream |
sugar for sprinkling |
directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt. Stir well. Using a pastry blender, cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal, with pea-sized bits of butter still present. Gently stir in seabuckthorn berries and chopped basil, then stir in heavy cream. Stir just to combine ingredients—don't overwork the dough. Generously flour your counter and transfer the dough onto the surface. With your hands, or a rolling pin, roll out to 3/4” thickness. Either cut into 12 wedges, or use a round 2 1/2 inch cookie cutter, being careful not to twist it. If using a cutter, re-roll the dough and cut the rest. Place scones on a parchment lined bake sheet, sprinkle with coarse sugar and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until golden.
