Easy Corn Scones Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°. Prepare a biscuit pan or stone baking sheet. I prefer the stone for my scones and biscuits. You do not need to grease it, but if using a metal pan you might benefit from lining it with parchment.
• Stir together the sugar and cornmeal. Stir in the Bisquick until all are well-blended. Stir in the buttermilk until you get a soft dough, not a batter. It should leave the sides of the bowl and look like it's ready to turn out and knead.
• Turn the ball of dough out onto the prepared pan. Flatten into a round disk about 3/4" high. Cut with a pizza cutter into 8 wedges, but do not separate them. Let set at room temperature about 10 minutes, until oven is fully preheated.
• Bake 12-15 minutes until softly done in center. Cool for 5-10 minutes on the pan, then slice with a serrated knife along the lines of the wedges. Serve with butter and jam or fruit butters. Good with soup, too!

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a medium bowl, mix flour, 1/3 cup sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Grate butter into flour mixture on the large holes of a box grater; use your fingers to work in butter (mixture should resemble coarse meal), then stir in raisins.
• In a small bowl, whisk sour cream and egg until smooth.
• Using a fork, stir sour cream mixture into flour mixture until large dough clumps form. Use your hands to press the dough against the bowl into a ball. (The dough will be sticky in places, and there may not seem to be enough liquid at first, but as you press, the dough will come together.)
• Place on a lightly floured surface and pat into a 7- to 8-inch circle about 3/4-inch thick. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tsp. of sugar. Use a sharp knife to cut into 8 triangles; place on a cookie sheet (preferably lined with parchment paper), about 1 inch apart. Bake until golden, about 15 to 17 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes and serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• Mix flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda and salt in medium bowl.
• Cut in butter using pastry blender or 2 knives, until mixture looks like fine crumbs.
• Stir in buttermilk so dough leaves sides of bowl and forms a ball.
• Turn dough onto lightly floured surface.
• Knead lightly 10 times.
• Pat or roll into 7 inch circle on ungreased cookie sheet that has been sprinkled with cornmeal.
• Score top into 8 wedges, cutting down halfway to the bottom.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until light brown.
• Immediately remove from cookie sheet, carefully separate wedges.
• Serve warm.

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in plenty of salted simmering water until tender. Drain well and mash. Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl, add the butter, milk, eggs, mash and plenty of seasoning and mix to a sticky dough.
• Heat some butter and a little oil in a large frying pan. Fry dollops of the mixture as you would Scotch pancakes for 3 mins on each side until browned. You may need to do this in 2 batches so keep the fried ones warm in the oven. Serve with crisp bacon and grated mature cheddar, or blue cheese and a drizzle of honey.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a bowl whisk together the flour, the cornmeal, the baking powder, the sugar, the salt, and the cayenne, blend in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal, and stir in 3/4 cup of the Cheddar. In a small bowl stir together the egg yolk and the milk, add the mixture to the flour mixture, and stir the mixture with a fork until it just forms a soft dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, knead it gently 8 to 10 times, and pat it into a 6-inch round. Cut the round with a sharp knife into 6 equal wedges, arrange the scones about 2 inches apart on a lightly greased baking sheet, and brush the tops lightly with some of the egg white, beaten lightly. Sprinkle each scone with about 1 teaspoon of the remaining Cheddar and bake the scones in the middle of the oven for 15 to 17 minutes, or until they are golden and cooked through.

Steps:

• Bring a pan of salted water to the boil. Hold a corn cob at a right angle to the chopping board, then run a sharp knife down the length of the cob, as close to the core as you can get, slicing away the rows of corn. Boil the kernels for 4 mins or until just tender, then drain well.
• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Mix the flour, baking powder, mustard, cayenne, 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp thyme leaves in a large bowl, then rub in the butter until the mix looks like fine crumbs. Tip in most of the cheese and all of the corn. Mix the milk with the lemon juice, then stir into the bowl to make a slightly sticky dough. Don't over-work the dough.
• Tip the dough onto the floured work surface, knead 2-3 times to smooth a little, then divide into 10 balls. Shape each roughly with your hands and put onto a floured baking sheet. Brush each with a little milk, then scatter with a little cheese, cayenne and a few thyme leaves. Bake for 10-12 mins or until the scones are risen, golden and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. Cool on a rack.
