Best Scones you'll ever eat. Ever!Not completely sure we want to wade into the 'Scones Vs. American Biscuits' debate... but here's our take. They are different. Yes they have a similar ingredient list, in many of the same proportions; but Scones are slightly drier and crumblier in our opinion. Biscuits usually have an acid component - buttermilk - but not always. Scones usually have a sweet component - but not always. So which side are you on? Scones or Biscuits... Or both depending on the culinary situation?As far as shape - are you 'Round is the only way' or 'Wedges forever'.Let us know in the comments.Ingredients: 1 cup (250mL) 35% cream 2 1/3 cups (575 mL) all-purpose flour 3 Tbsp (45 mL) granulated sugar 1 Tbsp (15 mL) baking powder ½ tsp (2 mL) table salt 2/3 cup (150 mL) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes 1 Tbsp plus 1 tsp (20 mL) honey 2 tsp (10 mL) 35% cream for brushing 1 Tbsp (15 mL) turbinado sugarMethod: Pre heat the oven to 400°F (200ºC)Line a baking sheet with parchment. Whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form; keep chilled while you mix the other ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the butter and work with your fingers until it resembles coarse meal. Make a well in the centre of the mixture and add the honey and 1/3 of the whipped cream. Use a spatula to fold the ingredients together until incorporated. Then continue with the remaining cream. Lightly work the dough in the bowl just until it holds together. Turn it out onto a lightly floured counter and gently knead it a few more times. Shape it by hand into a 9 x ¾" thick disk. Place on the baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate for 10 minutes. Cut the dough into 8 even wedges, and pull them 2" apart on the baking sheet.Brush with the remaining 2 tsp cream and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar. Bake until lightly browned on top, 15 to 20 minutes. Wrap the baked scones in a tea towel to cool… but they are best eaten hot right from the oven.#GlenAndFriendsCooking #LeGourmetTV #LeGourmetTVRecipes Glen & Friends Cooking Glen And Friends Cooking #GlenCooking #GlenCooks-~-~~-~~~-~~-~-Please watch: "
