I'm really tempted to call these something like, "Hot Diggitty Dog Off the Hook Out of Control Wonder Scones" but I'm afraid I'm a bit of a Diana Berry when it comes to creative names, and even that kooky name doesn't do these justice.
These were inspired by a recipe I read on Bakerella for Pioneer Woman's cinnamon rolls. The scone recipe was inspired by the Red Plaid Wunder Cook Book.
Dough:
2 C AP Flour
2 T Sugar
2 t Baking Powder
1/4 t Baking Soda
1/3 C Butter or Pressed Palm Oil
1 Egg
1/2 C buttermilk or sour milk/coconut milk (1/2 C milk plus large splash of lemon juice)
Filling:
Toasted chopped walnuts
Chocolate Chips / Chopped Chocolate Bar
Glaze: ()
1/4 C? Maple Syrup (I suppose for a stronger flavor you could add a bit of mapeline)
A few T Hot Strong Coffee
Powdered Sugar
Tiny bit of vanilla
Preheat Oven to 400
Combine dry ingredients well and cut in butter / shortening until crumbly
Beat egg and add butter / sour milk
Stir in wet ingredients until just combined.
Turn out dough on floured surface and knead 12 times.
Divide in equal halves and roll or pat each into 8 inch circles.
Place one circle on the parchment & sprinkle with walnuts and chocolate
Cover with 2nd round of dough and seal edges by pressing gently together
Cut into 12 scones with a floured dough scraper. It is not necessary to seal the sides of each slice
Push pieces apart about 1/2 an inch or less
Bake approximately 15 minute or until golden in 400 Farenheit on a light aluminum pan with parchment paper.
While dough is baking heat maple syrup (1/4 C?) in a sauce pan. Add a few tablespoons of hot very strong coffee and stir in powdered sugar. Add each of these ingredients as needed while heating to create a thin glaze. Simmer down until glaze will harden when cooled. (Don't you love home made recipes - Where's Julia's cookbookery when you need it?)
When the scones are done place them on a plate, brush glaze on each scone and pour the remaining glaze over the scones (the scones will absorb the glaze on the bottom creating a slightly crunchy crazy yummy deliciousness).
Dunk in coffee!
