Carrot Raisin Scones
Author: Aubrey Cota @ realhousemoms.com/
Carrot Raisin Scones are a delicious spring time treat for breakfast, brunch or just a snack through out the day! They're sort of like a sweet biscuit and very easy to make. There are quite a few ingredients in this recipe but it's very simple to make and most of them are staples in most kitchens so I bet you've got a lot of them already. I debated topping them off with a cream cheese glaze but when I tasted them the buttery flavor was fantastic, I didn't want to cover that up with more sugar!
Prep time: 5 mins
Cook time: 25 mins
Total time: 30 mins
Serves: 18
Ingredients
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla
4 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup granulated sugar
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 tsp ginger
⅛ tsp nutmeg
1 cup of butter, cut into pieces and kept VERY cold
2 tsp orange zest
2 egg, beaten
½ cup honey
1 cup raisins
¾ cup carrots, shredded
¾ cup pecans, chopped
1 Tbs water
2 Tbs granulated sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Lay the shredded carrot on paper towels to dry off the excess moisture
In a med bowl combine yogurt, baking soda and vanilla
In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg
Add in butter and cut in using a fork or pastry cutter, until it's the size of little peas
Add in the orange zest and pecans
Beat 1 egg and honey together
Pour the egg mixture and the yogurt mixture into the flour
Add the carrots, and raisins
Mix everything together until all combined, hands work best.
You may have to knead a bit, but it will be moist enough
Remove from bowl and place on a slightly floured surface
Form into a loaf shape about 9 inches by 3 inches (this doesn't have to be exact)
Slice into three equal pieces
Press each piece into about a 1 inch thick circle
Slice each circle into 6 pieces
Place the scones onto a baking sheet
Beat the remaining egg and water together
Brush on the tops and sides of the scones and sprinkle with the 2 Tbs sugar
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the tops are golden brown
Enjoy!
