    These scones with a hot chocolate or tea, when it’s cold outside – hard to beat. Too bad they are all gone already, cause it just started snowing again outside :P

    I could eat scones every morning. All year round. Not only in winter. They come in so many versions and flavors – just great! These here are made with cranberries and orange – a great flavor combination. They might look a bit “christmasy” on the pictures because I made them the days before Christmas, but they are really good all year round. Fortunately, you can get the dried cranberries all year round – no need to use fresh ones ;)

    As most scones recipes, these here are really easy and fast to prepare – ok it can get a bit messy if the dough is sticky, but who cares – the result is plain delicious! Have you ever made scones? It is really easy – I can show you :)

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Preheat the oven to 390˚F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment and set aside. Mix the milk with sour cream and vanilla extract and set aside.

    2. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, salt, zest of lemon and orange in a large bowl. Add the cold butter in small pieces and toss until all is covered with the flour mix. Cut the butter into even smaller pieces by using a dough scraper until you get pea-sized pieces of butter. Add the sour cream mix and stir with a spatula until almost combined. Add the cranberries and fold in.

    3. Transfer the (quite sticky) dough to a floured surface and form a disk with a thickness of about 1 inch (2,5cm). Cut into 8 triangles (like a pizza) and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 18-20 minutes – the scones should have a nice golden crust. Let cool down completely on a wire rack.

    4. In a small bowl mix confectioner’s sugar with vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of the lemon or orange juice. The glaze should not be too runny – add more lemon juice if it is too thick. Sprinkle over the scones and let dry (or at least try to let it dry before eating).

    1. Den Ofen auf 200°C (390°F) vorheizen. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. In einer kleinen Schüssel die Milch mit dem Schmand und Vanille Extrakt vermischen und zur Seite stellen.

    2. In einer großen Schüssel das Mehl mit Backpulver, Natron, Zucker, Salz, Zitronen- und Orangenschale vermischen. Die kalte Butter in kleinen Stücken zugeben und im Mehl schwenken, bis sie komplett mit Mehl bedeckt ist. Die Butter mit der Hilfe eines Teigschabers in etwa erbsengroße Stücke zerteilen. Schmand-Milch-Mix zugeben und verrühren, bis es sich alles grob verbunden hat. Die Cranberries zugeben und unterheben.

    3. Den (leicht klebrigen) Teig auf eine bemehlte Fläche geben und eine runde Scheibe mit etwa 2,5cm (1 inch) Dicke formen. Wie eine Pizza in 8 Dreiecke schneiden und auf das vorbereitete Backblech legen. Im Ofen für 18-20 Minuten backen – die Scones sollten eine goldbraune Farbe bekommen haben. Auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen.

    4. In einer kleinen Schüssel den Puderzucker mit dem Vanille Extrakt und 1 EL Zitronensaft verrühren. Sollte die Glasur zu dickflüssig sein, noch etwas Zitronensaft zugeben, bis die richtige Konsistenz erreicht ist. Scones damit glasieren und trocknen lassen.

    Hi, my name is Marc. I’m a graphic designer.
    I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake – for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers – and it seems they like it most of the time. ;)
