Apple Cider Scones | Our Novel Autumn Favorite

It has been a spell since I receive got come upwards up amongst a novel scone recipe. We've been real happy sticking amongst the classic Orange Cranberry, and Pecan & Maple for breakfast, but the verge of a novel flavour has me craving my all fourth dimension favorites, Apple Cider Donuts. I've made them at dwelling household (remember final year?), but the existent deals are from Dunn's Cider Mill too they don't start making them until mid-September.

**If y'all are novel hither equally business office of the Fall Recipe Series, welcome!

It dawned on me that I could trim apple tree cider into to a greater extent than of a syrup consistency (by boiling it for 5-10 minutes), therefore work it inwards scones to give them that unmistakable flavor (plus or therefore nutmeg + cinnamon), too also work it inwards the glaze. The consequence was therefore yummy. I made them inwards mini size to become amongst java inwards the forenoon - too this size is a petty easier for kids to eat/hold.

We made these on a Fri later noon later picking apples that morning.

I hope this is leftover glaze that was non used on our gifts...

I packed them upwards inwards a cello back, tag & ribbon (here, inwards my store>) to accept to our friend's for dinner that black equally a hostess gift. I beloved bringing breakfast for hostess gifts - a neat affair to wake upwards to the forenoon later existence exhausted from entertaining.

1 loving cup of Apple Cider

.....

2 cups addition 1/4 loving cup all-purpose flour

Apple Cider Reduction :

Reduce the Apple Cider inwards advance, therefore it tin cool. Pour the cider inwards a saucepan too simmer on medium until it reduces yesteryear half to an almost maple syrup constancy. Do non allow it teach likewise thick or it volition burn! It should accept nearly 10 minutes. Pour it inwards a drinking glass bowl too allow it cool inwards the fridge/freezer for 20-30 minutes.

For scones :

In a mixer, combine flour, sugar, baking pulverization too common salt using the paddle attachment. Cut the mutual frigidity butter into 1/2 inch pieces. Add the butter to the dry out ingredients too mix on depression until the butter is mixed inwards too is the size of peas.

In a dissever bowl, mix together eggs, cider reduction, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg too whipping cream amongst a fork. I produce it inwards a pourable stair out to become far like shooting fish in a barrel to add together to the flour/butter.

Turn the mixer on depression too slow add together the cream too egg mixture - y'all may non work it all. Turn off the mixer in i trial added too dough comes together.

Put or therefore flour on the counter. Turn the dough out onto the floured surface. Add or therefore flour onto the hand of the dough, therefore pat it out into a disk - nearly 8-9 inches inwards diameter.

Cut the disk into 6-8 pieces similar a pie for measure size scones. For Minis, equally shown here, cutting each of the 6-8 pieces inwards half.

Reducing the apple tree cider + butter for the glaze. Because I didn't brand plenty inwards my offset pace (I was doubling the recipe) I had to brand or therefore other batch of reduced cider for the glaze, therefore I simply did it inwards the saucepan.

For Glaze :

In a microwave security bowl, rut cider reduction too butter for xxx seconds to 1 minute, until butter is melted. Add powdered carbohydrate too stir until smooth. Add to a greater extent than powdered carbohydrate or to a greater extent than cider for desired consistency. Should live on drizzle-able, but non likewise runny.
