Ireland
In the spirit of St. Patrick's Day (a.k.a. the Feast of St. Patrick),
these scones celebrate all things Irish. They feature our Irish-style
wholemeal flour for that extra-tender, soda bread-like texture, and
their flavor evokes a hot mug of cappuccino infused with Irish cream liqueur.
PREP: 15 mins.
BAKE: 15 mins. to 18 mins.
TOTAL: 43 mins.
Preheat the oven to 425F with a rack in the upper third. Line a
baking sheet with parchment; or lightly grease it.
Combine the flours, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Work the butter into the flour mixture until unevenly crumbly; you'll
want to see some larger, pea-sized pieces of butter.
Toss in the butterscotch chips, if using.
Mix together the egg, liqueur, milk, and flavor, and add to the
flour-butter mixture, stirring until the dough is evenly moistened
and holds together.
Drop the dough by 1/3-cupfuls onto the prepared baking sheet; our
scone and muffin scoop works well here.
Bake the scones for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden.
Remove the scones from the oven and transfer them to a rack to cool
for 5 to 10 minutes.
To make the glaze: Combine the liqueur and butterscotch chips in a
microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high heat for 30 seconds. Stir
until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the warm scones. Serve warm or at room temperature.
TIPS:
Don't have cappuccino chips on hand? Leave them out of the scones;
and make the glaze by combining 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar with 1
to 2 tablespoons Irish cream liqueur.
