ingredients
-
Orange Honey Butter
- 1 quart heavy cream
- 1 orange, zest of
- 1⁄2 cup honey
- 1 pinch salt
-
Berry Buttermilk Scones
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons sugar, plus more for sprinkling scones
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3⁄4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3⁄8 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1 1⁄2 cups fresh mixed berries, washed and dried (e.g. blueberries, raspberries, blackberries)
- 3⁄4 cup buttermilk (leftover from orange butter)
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°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.

Both places are beautiful in their own way, although Arizona is where I learned that the little marshmallows in the Lucky Charms box are actually supposed to be crisp and crunchy, not gummy and all stuck together. What a revelation!
