Quest 20: The Quest for the Golden Triangles, also know as Scones!
Since this is the 20th Quest, I have decided to something that is a little more main quest related like collecting the fabled golden triangles. This quest will be messy, chocolaty and whole lot of fun. Ever make scones before or had one from the bakery? No? Well, think of scones as a cross between a muffin and a cookie. Now how wouldn't be in love with that combination? So, in honor of the game that got this all started: The Legend of Zelda, I give you my recipe for chocolate chip scones. How you arrange them on the plate, I'll leave to you. Enjoy!Quest Gear!
A mixing bowl
Spoon
Pasty blender or two forks (optional)
Cookie sheet
Parchment Paper
1 cup GF AP flour with xanthan gum
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons GF baking powder
2 tablespoons COLD butter
1 egg
3-4 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips
The Quest!!
Either with a pasty blender, two forks, or even just your fingers, work the butter into the flour until it becomes the consistency of cornmeal to the touch (kind of small lumps equally throughout).
Add the rest of the dry ingredients and mix together well. Form a well in the middle of the bowl.
Add your egg and 3 tablespoons of heavy cream to the well and mix to combine. Once mixed, start to mix the dry ingredients in by sweeping the side of the bowl. It should start to form a drier dough. Add the mini chocolate chips. Continue mixing until everything is mixed together. If there is a lot of flour in the bottom that just will not mix in, add a little more heavy cream (a teaspoon at a time) until you get it together.
Once the dough has formed a ball, set the spoon aside and begin kneading the dough with floured hands. Do this about 6-8 times by bringing the dough together from the sides and pressing it down.
When kneading is complete, roll or press the dough out into a square about 1/2 inch thick. Make it as square as you can.
Cut the dough into 8 pieces by cutting into four squares first, then cutting each square into triangles.
Place the triangles onto a cookie sheet that has been lined with parchment paper. Bake 18-20 minutes at 350 degrees F.
The tops will be fairly light in color, but the bottoms will be browned. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Most people like scones warm, but I enjoy them warm or room temperature.
