    This year is my rhubarb year it seems ;) I made already a lot with rhubarb and still having loads of ideas what to do next with it… until the season ends. These Rhubarb Vanilla Scones are the latest “rhubarb creation” I got for you. Scones came pretty late into my life. A former colleague from Ireland brought them one day to work, regular ones with clotted cream and marmalade – since that moment I’m hooked on those little fellas ;)

    These Rhubarb Vanilla Scones here are not too sweet, the typical rhubarb flavor gives a bit tartness to the bake. In combination with vanilla and the orange zest a dream come true ;) It was really hard not to eat all of them before the glaze was drizzled on top. They smelled so good the moment they came out of the oven. Sometimes it is really hard to be a food blogger, cause you have to wait until everything is photographed and done….. the struggle is real – oh boy! ;)

    DIRECTIONS / ZUBEREITUNG

    • English
    • Deutsch
    1. Preheat the oven to 390˚F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with baking parchment. Set aside. Wash the rhubarb (peel if needed) and cut into small pieces. Mix with one tablespoon sugar and set aside.

    2. In a large bowl combine flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and the zest of the orange. Add the butter in small pieces and rub everything with your fingers, until the butter is incorporated and you have small crumbs.

    3. In a small bowl mix heavy cream, egg, and vanilla extract until combined. Add to the bowl with the flour mixture and mix with a wooden spoon until everything comes together. Add the rhubarb and fold in. If the dough is too sticky, add some more flour.

    4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and flatten so you get a disk with a thickness of about 1 inch (2,5cm). Cut into 8 triangles and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 15-18 minutes – the scones should have a nice golden crust. Let cool down completely on a wire rack.

    5. For the glaze whisk together confectioner’s sugar, vanilla extract, and milk – start with one tablespoon and add more, if the glaze is too thick. Drizzle over scones and let dry.

    1. Den Ofen auf 200°C (390°F) vorheizen. Ein Backblech mit Backpapier auslegen und zur Seite stellen. Rhabarber waschen (falls notwendig schälen) und in kleine Stücke schneiden. Mit 1 EL Zucker vermischen und zur Seite stellen.

    2. In einer großen Schüssel Mehl mit Backpulver, Zucker, Salz und der abgeriebenen Orangenschale vermischen. Butter in kleinen Stücken zugeben und mit den Fingern zu Steuseln verreiben.

    3. In einer kleinen Schüssel die Sahne mit dem Ei und Vanille Extrakt verquirlen. Zur Mehlmischung zugeben und alles mit einem Holzlöffel verrühren. Rhabarber zugeben und unterheben. Sollte der Teig zu klebrig sein, noch etwas Mehl zugeben und verrühren.

    4. Teig auf eine bemehlte Fläche geben und flachdrücken – es sollte eine etwa 2,5cm (1 inch) dicke Scheibe entstehen. In 8 Dreiecke teilen und auf das vorbereitete Backblech legen. Im Backofen für 15-18 Minuten backen – die Oberfläche sollte eine schöne goldgelbe Farbe bekommen haben. Auf einem Kuchengitter komplett auskühlen lassen.

    5. Für die Glasur den Puderzucker mit Vanille Extrakt und einem EL Milch verrühren – mehr Milch zugeben, bis die Glasur die gewünschte Konsistenz hat. Über die Scones träufeln und antrocknen lassen.

      Dank diesem Bild auf Instagram, habe ich mich inspirieren lassen und habe schnell Scones mit Erdbeeren gebacken. Jetzt werden öfter Scones auf dem Frühstückstisch kommen. Die Variationen mit Blaubeeren, Heidelbeeren und Himbeeren stehen noch aus =)
      Außerdem wollte ich noch sagen, dass ich diesen Blog sehr toll finde und lese mir jeden neuen Post durch.

      How many cups of rhubarb did you use? I don’t have a food scale. Thanks!

        Hi Rita,

        I’m not completely sure, because I did measure it only with the scale, but I think it was less than 2 cups – probably 1 1/2.
        Hope that helps :)

        Cheers,

      This was the first scone that I have ever tried making(always thought scones were dry). These were easy and delicious! They were nice and moist and the perfect amount of sweet and tart. My super picky 4 year old even ate 2 of them and still wanted more. Thank you for the great recipe and for showing me scones don’t have to be dry and hard to choke down.

      Just made these wonderful scones. I didn’t have heavy cream so I melted vanilla ice cream instead and they were very good. Thank you

      Can plain yogurt (not Greek) be used in place of the heavy cream?

        Hi Kristine,

        I have never tried this kind of replacement yet, so I can’t tell if it works here – but I have seen scones recipes with yogurt, so I guess it could work well :)
        Just give it a try. That’s what I do all the time ;))

        Cheers, Marc

      I am baking these for the first time, on the recommendation of my hair stylist. I used frozen rhubarb that I had put up from my garden, w/o thawing or drying it. The dough was beautiful until I added the rhubarb, then became a gloppy, wet mess. They were difficult to move onto the baking tray, but are in the oven now. Do you have any tips for frozen (or soggy) rhubarb. My stylist/friend told me that she once let the rhubarb sit in the sugar too long and it became too juicy. They took much longer to bake, but were still edible. I’m hoping they don’t take double the time, as it is headed for midnight.
      They seem fine, with about 5 extra minutes of baking time .

        Hi Maria,

        happy it worked out.
        Using frozen and thawed rhubarb is always a bit tricky since it softens a lot after defrosting.
        It’s best to let it drain a bit longer if you use it.

        Cheers
        Marc

    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. ;)
