Green
& Red Scones
with ground green tea, sage,
& dried cranberries
Ingredients (makes 32 small wedges):
2 cups
flour
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 Tablespoon dry, ground sage leaves
1 teaspoon Edible Green®
1/4 cup granulated sugar plus more for sprinkling
1/2
teaspoon salt
5 Tablespoons unsalted butter
2 oz dried cranberries
1 cup heavy cream plus a little more for
brushing
1.
Preheat oven to 375F.
2. Mix the first 6 dry ingredients in a
large bowl.
3. Cut in 5 Tablespoons unsalted butter
until butter becomes crumbling.
4. Add 2 oz chopped dried cranberries. (Use
"orange flavored" if you wish.)
5. Add 1 cup heavy cream. Gather mixture
together until it holds together.
6. Divide the dough into 4 portions. In
your hand, pat each into a disk shape with
a 4" to 5" diameter and 1"
thick.
7. Lay the disk shaped dough on a floured
surface. Cut it into 8 wedges with a sharp
knife. (If dough sticks to knife, clean
knife with wet paper towel after each cut
for clean, sharp edges.)
8. Repeat for all the portions.
9. Arrange wedges on two parchment-lined
baking sheets. Brush tops with cream. (Do
not overload with cream--just a thin layer
is sufficient--otherwise, the shape of scones
will be lost when baked.) Sprinkle sugar
over the cream.
10. Bake until cooked through, about 15
to 20 minutes.
