Pine Nut Cardamom Scones
These scones are best when served with either Indian mocha Chai, Ying Ming Yunnan or Cardamom Tea.
Yields: 12 Scones
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 1/4 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon double-acting baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
- 3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
- 1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted lightly
- an egg wash made by beating 1 large egg with 2 tablespoons milk
- granulated sugar for sprinkling the scones
In a bowl whisk together the milk, the egg, the brown sugar, and the vanilla until the mixture is combined well. In another bowl stir together the flour, the salt, the baking powder, the baking soda, the cardamom, the cinnamon, the nutmeg, and the zest and blend in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in the milk mixture and three fourths of the pine nuts with a fork until the mixture just forms a sticky but manageable dough. Knead the dough gently on a lightly floured surface for 30 seconds, pat it into a 3/4-inch-thick round, and with a 2 1/2-inch fluted cutter cut it into rounds. On an ungreased baking sheet press the remaining pine nuts lightly into the scones, brush the scones with the egg wash, and sprinkle them with the granulated sugar. Bake the scones in the middle of a preheated 400°F. oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they are golden.
