Ingredients for Apple Raisin Scones
How to Make Apple Raisin Scones
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, combine the apples, raisins, sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently fold until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 1-inch thick circle.
- Cut the circle into 8 wedges using a sharp knife.
- Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle generously with confectioners' sugar.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Optional: While the scones are still warm, prepare a glaze by whisking together confectioners' sugar with a little water until it reaches your desired consistency. Drizzle over the scones.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
