Coffee Nut Scones Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, espresso powder, baking powder and salt. Add the cold cubed butter and use a pastry blender or your fingertips to blend the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture looks like damp sand with some larger pea-sized pieces of butter throughout.
• Make a well in the center of the flour and butter mixture. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the chopped espresso beans, if using, for garnish and sprinkle the remainder around the edge of the flour well. In a small bowl, whisk together the cream, egg and vanilla. Pour the liquid ingredients into the well in the center of the flour mixture. Pour in the melted chocolate. Stir just until all the ingredients are moistened and dough begins to come together; it's okay if the mixture has some light and dark streaks. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and gently pat it together into a round about 7 inches in diameter and 3/4 inch thick. Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 8 equal triangular slices. Sprinkle turbinado sugar over the top of the dough and press gently to adhere.
• Transfer the scones to the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the scones are slightly firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into one comes out clean (a few small crumbs clinging to the toothpick are okay), 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the scones to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Meanwhile, for serving, beat the mascarpone, granulated sugar and heavy cream with an electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form. Serve the scones with a dollop of the mascarpone cream and a sprinkle of reserved espresso beans.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and lightly dust a baking sheet with flour. Mix the flour, baking powder and a good pinch of salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and rub together with your fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the chopped walnuts and the milk, mix together using a cutlery knife until clumping together, then tip onto your work surface and squash together to form a ball - try not to work the dough too much or your scones will be heavy. Flatten the dough a little with your hand to make a disc roughly 3cm thick, then use a sharp knife to cut into 6 triangles.
• Transfer to a baking sheet, brush with a little beaten egg, then place a walnut half on each scone. Bake for 15 mins until golden and puffed, then transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve with soft goat's cheese and fig jam, if you like.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Spray baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
• Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
• Using a pastry blender or fork, cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• In a separate bowl, beat together eggs, milk, and 1 tbsp.
• instant coffee.
• Add to dry ingredients, mixing until just blended.
• Stir in hazelnuts.
• On a lightly floured surface, knead the dough 5-6 times, but not too much or it makes the dough tough.
• Cut the dough into three parts; cut each part into fourths.
• Pat each part into a patty or roll and place on baking sheet.
• Bake at 425 degrees F.
• for 10-12 minutes or until light golden.
• Remove from baking sheet and cool on wire rack.
• Prepare glaze by mixing 1 tbsp.
• water with 1/4 tsp.
• instant coffee; add 1/2 cup powdered sugar, stirring until well blended.
• Drizzle over scones with a spoon, adjusting consistency, if necessary with a little water or more sugar.
• Serve.

• Stir in the fruit and nuts.
• Turn dough out onto a floured board and gently pat into a circle of dough about 1/2" thick.
• Cut out rounds with floured biscuit cutter and place them on a greased baking sheet.
• Gently brush tops with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake in a preheated 400° F oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Butter baking sheet. Sift flour, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda into large bowl. Add butter; rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in nuts. Whisk milk, sour cream, egg and vanilla in medium bowl; set aside 1 1/2 tablespoons for glaze. Make well in center of dry ingredients; add remaining milk mixture. Stir just until dough forms. Let stand 3 minutes. Turn out onto floured surface. Using floured hands, knead gently until dough comes together, about 5 turns. Pat into 7 1/2-inch round. Using sharp knife, cut into 8 wedges; brush with glaze. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon sugar.
• Transfer wedges to baking sheet, spacing apart. Bake scones until golden and crusty, about 20 minutes. Transfer to rack and cool slightly. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put hazelnuts in a baking pan with sides and bake for 15-20 minutes, shaking the pan once or twice, until the skins split and the nuts are lightly browned.

• Pick out the nuts and coarsely chop in a food processor or by hand with a chef's knife.
• Turn oven up to 425 degrees F.
• While the nuts are toasting, measure milk and stir in the instant coffee.
• Put flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl; stir to mix well.
• Add butter and cut in with a pastry blender or rub in with your fingers until the mixture looks like fine granules.
