Glazed Apple, Cinnamon And Buttermilk Scones
- FOR THE SCONES:
- 5 cups All-Purpose Flour, Plus Extra For Dusting And Kneading
- 1/2 cups Golden Brown Sugar, Packed
- 1 Tablespoon Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoons Allspice
- 1/2 teaspoons Sea Salt
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter, Chilled And Cubed
- 2 whole Eggs
- 1-1/4 cup Applesauce
- 1/2 cups Buttermilk
- FOR THE APPLES:
- 1 cup Apples, Peeled, Cored, And Diced
- 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon (for The Apples)
- 2 Tablespoons Golden Brown Sugar, Packed (for The Apples)
- FOR THE GLAZE:
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar, Sifted
- 1/4 cups Milk
- 1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat.
- 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 1/2 cups flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and sea salt.
- 3. Add the cubed butter, and using either a pastry blender, two forks or a food processor, cut the butter into the mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- 4. Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl, mix together the apple ingredients until apples are fully coated.
- 5. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, applesauce, and buttermilk. Add apple mixture and stir until combined.
- 6. Stir egg mixture into dry ingredients until just moistened.
- 7. Dust your kneading surface (cutting board, etc.) with extra flour.
- 8. Turn the dough onto the floured surface and knead until it comes together. If it is still too wet, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of flour on it at a time and knead in.
- 9. Divide the dough in half. Pat each half into a large circle. Cut each into about 8 to 10 wedges, and place them on the prepared baking sheet, at least 2 inches apart. If the dough is warm, chill it in the fridge for about 10 minutes before baking.
- 10. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden. Scones should bounce back when touched.
- 11. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
- 12. While cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth.
- 13. Drizzle glaze over fresh scones and serve.
