Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Cakes and Desserts
The scone is an essential crumbly companion to British tea time, sitting somewhere between a biscuit and a cookie. In this version, the world of Italian tiramisu makes an appearance: mascarpone mixed into the dough makes it creamy, while coffee adds character. A perfect breakfast that wakes you up and indulges you at the same time.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Mix the mascarpone with the cooled coffee in a small bowl.

Tip: It's important the coffee is cold, otherwise it will melt the mascarpone and butter.
2 ✓

Sift the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt into a large bowl.

Tip: Sifting aerates the flour, resulting in a lighter scone.
3 ✓

Add the cold butter cubes and quickly rub into the flour with your fingertips until it resembles wet sand.

Tip: The butter must stay cold! During baking, water in the butter turns to steam, lifting the dough and creating layers.
4 ✓

Stir the coffee-mascarpone mixture into the buttery crumbs.

Tip: Just loosely combine.
5 ✓

Whisk the egg with the milk, then pour into the dough. Quickly bring it together with a few strokes; barely mix it.

Tip: Do not overwork! If the dough gets too warm, the butter melts and the scones will be hard and flat.
6 ✓

On a floured surface, pat dough into a disc about 1 inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges (like a cake) or punch out rounds.

Tip: Do not glaze the sides, as it inhibits rising.
7 ✓

Place on a parchment-lined sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Cool on a rack and dust with cocoa powder.

Recipe FAQ

Why are my scones hard?
You likely overmixed the dough. The secret to scones is quick assembly so gluten strands don't toughen.
Can I substitute mascarpone?
You can use thick cream cheese, but mascarpone's fat content and milder flavor give the best texture.
