Ingredients for Baking Stones
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or a blend of all-purpose and whole wheat flour)
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- Butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- Ground Cinnamon
- Dried Currants
How to Make Baking Stones
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, sugar, and cinnamon.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients along with the currants. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to about 1/4-inch thickness.
- Use a 3-inch floured cookie cutter (or a knife) to cut out circles.
- Lightly grease a baking sheet with oil.
- Place the baking stones onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 1/2 inch between each.
- Bake for 5 minutes, then carefully flip each baking stone and bake for another 5 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
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.
