Looking for a delightful Scone Recipe? These cranberry cheese scones are easy to make and boast a creamy, sweet-tart filling with a rich, flaky texture.
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine 150g of cream cheese with 15g of powdered sugar. Stir until smooth and creamy. Add 25g of dried cranberries and mix well. Chill the filling in the freezer for about 30 minutes. Once firm, divide it into 6 portions, each about 30g, and roll them into balls. Set aside.
Step 2: Make the Scone Dough
In a mixing bowl or food processor, add 120g of cake flour, 15g of powdered sugar, 3g of baking powder, and 15g of milk powder. Cut 60g of cold butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 30g of heavy cream (or milk) and 33g of egg liquid, then stir until the dough comes together. If you’re not using a food processor, you can rub the butter into the flour mixture by hand before adding the wet ingredients. Let the dough chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Step 3: Shape the Scones
Divide the chilled dough into 6 equal portions, about 45g each. Roll each portion into a ball, then flatten it slightly. Place a portion of the cranberry cheesecake filling in the center of each dough ball. Gently fold the dough over the filling, leaving the edges open, and press down lightly. Sprinkle the top with extra dried cranberries.
Step 4: Bake the Scones
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Place the scones on a baking tray and bake for about 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and fully cooked.
Step 5: Let Cool and Serve
Once baked, remove the scones from the oven and allow them to cool. You can store them in an airtight container and refrigerate or freeze them for later. These scones are delicious at room temperature, chilled, or frozen!
Can I use other fillings instead of cranberry cheesecake?
Yes, feel free to experiment with other fillings like cream cheese, chocolate ganache, or fruit jam.
How should I store the scones?
Store the scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate them for up to 5 days. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
Can I make these scones ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the dough and filling ahead of time, then assemble and bake the scones when you’re ready.
