- Skill Level: Effortless
- Servings: 12 scones
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients (12)
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 lime, finely zest
- 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 cup finely diced dried pineapple
- 0.5 cup unsalted frozen butter, grated
- 3/4 cup heavy cream, plus extra for brushing
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- Sanding sugar, for sprinkling
Directions
- Heat your oven to 450°F. Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl: flour, sugar, lime zest, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pineapple chunks. Set aside.
- Grate frozen butter, then toss with dry ingredients to coat evenly. In a separate bowl, combine lime juice, egg, and 3/4 cup of heavy cream. Pour wet mixture over dry ingredients, stirring just until incorporated (dough will be lumpy).
- Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 2 minutes. Roll out to 1/2-inch thickness, then cut out scones with a 2.5-inch cutter. Collect scraps, re-roll, and cut additional scones if needed, making a total of 12.
- Place scones on a parchment-lined baking sheet, at least 1/2-inch apart. Brush tops with remaining heavy cream, sprinkle with sanding sugar, and bake until golden, about 10-12 minutes. Remove scones from oven and let cool on a wire rack.
Optional Enrichments:
- Replace granulated sugar with honey or brown sugar for a sweeter scone.
- Add finely chopped candied lime peel for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
