Scones with Maple Butter

Scones with Maple Butter

Scones Ingredients:

• 3 1/2 cups organic white spelt flour
• 1 tbsp + 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp fine sea salt
• 2 tbsp organic cane sugar
• 1 cup Emerald Grasslands organic butter
• 1 1/3 cup Harmony Organic buttermilk

Method:

Preheat an oven to 400°F. Mix the dry ingredients, and then add the butter and mix with a pastry knife to achieve a coarse pea-sized crumble. Add the buttermilk and mix by hand until just combined. Pat into a 1" thick disc and cut into 8. Bake on a parchment-lined pan for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly and serve warm.

Maple Butter Ingredients:

• 1 cup Emerald Grasslands unsalted organic butter
• 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
• ½ cup maple syrup

Method:

Allow the butter to soften to room temperature. In a stand mixer fitted with a batter paddle, mix the butter on medium speed until light and airy. Sprinkle in the salt and slowly drizzle in the maple syrup. If the syrup is added to quickly it will not mix properly. Once all the syrup is in turn off the mixer, stir the butter with a spatula to catch anything missed at the bottom of the bowl and store for later use.
