Thinking about these scones for St. Patty's Day. Maybe will pair it with some Irish Breakfast Tea or, heck, kick off the celebrations early with some Irish coffee cuz I'm a wild card.
Irish Scone Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup butter, cold, cut in cubes
- 1 cup black currants
- 1/2 cup cold buttermilk
- 1 egg, large
- 2 tablespoons buttermilk, reserved
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425F.
Place flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into bowl of food processor. Pulse once or twice to combine. Add cold butter chunks and pulse until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Pour mixture into large mixing bowl.
Add black currants to flour and butter mixture and gently stir to combine.
In measuring cup, add buttermilk and egg and whisk together well.
Make a well in dry mixture, pour in wet mixture, and stir gently with a fork until dough forms and holds together.
Turn dough out onto floured surface and knead gently once or twice just to make sure dough holds together. Roll out about 1 inch thick.
Using floured cup or cookie cutter, cut out rounds and place 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush tops of scones with buttermilk and bake 12-15 minutes until risen and golden brown on top.
Serve warm or room temperature with clotted cream or mascarpone and your favorite jam.
