    Glazed Raspberry Heart Scones


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    2 cups all purpose flour
    1/3 cup sugar
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    5 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
    1 cup plus 3 tablespoons whipping cream
    1/3 cup (about) raspberry jam (do not use seedless)

    1/2 cup powdered sugar
    1/4 teaspoon rose water (optional)

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 400?F. Mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in large bowl. Add butter; rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles fine meal. Gradually add 1 cup cream, mixing until dough comes together. Turn dough out onto sheet of foil; pat to 1/2-inch thickness. Using 3-inch heart-shaped or round cookie cutter, cut out scones. Gather scraps; pat to 1/2-inch thickness and cut out additional scones. Using floured knife, start at point of each heart and cut horizontally halfway through scones; fill with 1 generous teaspoon jam (jam will show at edges). Transfer to baking sheet. Bake scones until brown, about 18 minutes. Transfer to rack; cool scones until slightly warm.

    Meanwhile, mix powdered sugar, remaining 3 tablespoons cream, and rose water in bowl to blend. Spread glaze over scones. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

    Notes: The scones were a bit over cooked at 18 minutes. I suggest checking at 15 to see how they are. Also, wait a little while before icing, otherwise it just melts instantly and makes a mess.

    Yield: Makes about 12.
