Ingredients

Orange Honey Butter:

  • 1 quart heavy cream
  • Zest of 1 orange
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • Pinch salt

Berry Buttermilk Scones:

Directions

You can do this the old fashioned way and add ingredients to a mason jar, cover with the lid and shake vigorously for 10 minutes, or you can use the food processor.

In a food processor bowl add all the ingredients and turn on high. The liquid will slosh, whip and then separate after about 4 minutes. When the mixture separates, (these are the butter solids and buttermilk), stop processing and strain out the buttermilk - there will be just under a cup. Reserve the buttermilk to make the scones. Strain out the butter and squeeze dry. Work the butter a couple of times to bring it together to form a nice ball. Refrigerate butter until ready to use.

For the scones:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a food processor bowl add flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add cold butter cubes and pulse until you have the texture of coarse bread crumbs. Transfer to a large mixing bowl, then add 3/4 cup of buttermilk and stir to combine. As it comes together add berries and fold dough to incorporate berries but not break them up too much.

Drop spoonfuls of dough onto a parchment lined sheet pan. Using a pastry brush, paint the tops of each scone lightly with buttermilk and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake until golden brown, and nice and puffy, about 17 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack.

Serve warm with the Orange Honey Butter.

    6 scones? Tyler is a little coo coo on this one. 6 scones would have been HUGE! I got 12 out of this recipe. They are yummy!

    These are absolutely delicious. However they only get 4 stars because they were also extremely frustrating! Things didn't really work out quite how the recipe said they would- for one thing, they needed more than 3/4 cups buttermilk. I also wasn't able to mix in the berries without completely crushing them. And the butter-making process was a complete fiasco. But, in the end they turned out really, really tasty (if not as pretty as I might have liked.

    Best scones I've ever tasted. The butter is easy to make and adds an extra layer of flavor to the already delicious scone.
