Naughty Rhubarb Scones
- 3 stalks rhubarb
- 2 1/2 cups flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup vanilla sugar
- 2/3 cup heavy cream (up to 3/4 cup)
- Preheat oven to 425u0b0 F.
- Slice rhubarb stalks 1/4 " thick. Toss with 3 tablespoons of the sugar.
- Sift flour, baking powder and salt together in large bowl or bowl of food processor.
- Cut butter into flour mixture by hand (or whiz with food processor) until butter is the size of small peas.
- Blend in 1/4 cup of the sugar.
- Blend in sliced rhubarb. (If using the food processor, just pulse -- you want the slices left mostly intact.)
- Blend in cream until a soft dough forms. (note: you may need to add more than 2/3 cup depending on the weather,etc.)
- Transfer dough to floured surface and divide in half. To make triangular scones, flatten into 6-inch disks and cut each circle into 6-8 scones. Sprinkle with remaining sugar.
- Arrange on ungreased cookie sheet and bake about 20 minutes or until reddish-brown on top.
