It's a very simple ingredients. Let's bake stuff filled with lots of good nutrients rather than plain sugar and flour, etc. Let's make it to you feel like you are adding nutricious value to every byte.
So, this is my second testing with the morning scones with Organic Kale powder, Organic Hemp Seeds, Organic Raisins, Poppy seeds.
The basic recipe is as follows:
The ingredients are very simple. You
will need a food scale.
Weigh 6
oz flour, Then, shift 4 times with 2 tsp of BAKING POWDER and 1/4 tsp KOSHER
SALT & weighed 2 oz of SUGAR, 1 Tbsp Organic Kale powder
Weigh
6 oz of Heavy Cream Plus extra 2 Tbsp more or 3 Tbsp set aside if you are
adding any moisture absorbing goodies like I do
1/2 C
or more of Goodies - (Chocolate chips plus ), Organic hemp seeds plus poppy seeds plus Organic raisins. The amount depends on your own
preference
Egg
Wash: 1 Large Organic Egg Yolk with 1 to 2 Tbsp
of Heavy Cream.
Read
through once before starting:
Prepare
baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Set aside.
In a
medium size mixing bowl, add flour mixture, then, add 3/4 of 6 oz heavy cream
to the center. Do
not add all the heavy cream in all at one time. Use your eyes and touch to determine if
there is enough heavy cream. It all
depends on how dry your flour is in your pantry.
(This flour mixture is greenish because it has 1 Tbsp to 2 Tbsp of Kale powder mixed in it. Actually 1 Tbsp is very powerful enough for the great flavor.)
(This one is without the Kale powder)
"Fold"
in with spatula a bit to let the cream moisten the flour…. and wait for about
10 seconds.
Check
the bottom of the bowl. There will be
more dry flour left, so add the heavy cream to the bottom and add the
Goodies, then use spatula to cut it in.
Do not stir crazy. You are only
moistening the dry flour together.
The dough should be soft like cookie
dough.
Transfer
to floured work surface to keep the dough from sticking to the work surface.
Knead
firmly ONLY 9 times, then on 10th time, form into a Disc by the palm of your
hand - about 8 inches round.
-- Do
not push down crazy, just be gentle when you push down to form into disc.
Transfer
the dough onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Let it
rest for 10 min.
Preheat
oven to 425'F. Rack on center of the
oven.
Beat
1 egg yolk with 1 Tbsp of Heavy Cream to make Egg Wash - See if there is enough
egg wash after beating it with fork to cover
top of the scone Twice. If not,
add a bit more heavy cream and or extra egg yolk (depending on the size of your
original egg yolk).
-- Egg
wash gives that crispy shine on the top.
Apply
Egg wash to the top of the dough.
Use
Pizza cutter to cut through the disk into triangle shape.
-- If
you are using a sharp serrated knife, Hold the knife Vertically to Slice
through. This is bit difficult since the
dough is kind of sticky. So, the best
thing to use is the Pizza cutter. But if
you don't have one, just DO NOT PRESS down to Cut the dough because it will
'seal' the sides of the scone dough to keep from rising properly.
Let
the first coat of egg wash to dry a bit - 5 min.
Then, apply egg wash again.
Bake
approximately for 15 min, depending on the BTU of your oven/convection oven.
Set
your alarm at 12 min to check once. Bake 3 min longer
It's ready when the top is browned and dough
is dry.
November 28th Status. They are still doing well. Have not suffered from the 'cold' from being left outdoor within the egg container, still.
