LIME CARDAMOM SCONES by Hearth & Larder

Hello, Steemit foodie friends!

I have a small home based business called Hearth & Larder. I used to sell scones at the public baker's market up in Vancouver BC but since moving back home to California I now produce mainly a variety of citrus marmalade.
People rave about my delicious scones so today I'm pleased to share my recipe with you!

DRY
3 cups all purpose flour
1 cup pastry flour
6 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
6 TB sugar
2 tsp lime zest
3 tsp ground cardamom
2/3 cup Craisins (or raisins)

WET
1 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup oil (olive, canola or melted coconut)
2 tsp vanilla
2 TB lime juice

GLAZE
1 cup icing sugar (or more if needed for thickness)
1 TB lime juice
1 TB lemon juice
1 tsp grated lime zest

TOPPING
finely chopped pistachios

METHOD
Preheat oven to 400˚.
Mix dry ingredients together in a large bowl with a whisk. Next mix wet ingredients together in a bowl then pour into the dry ingredients. With a rubber spatula mix until just combined. Dump dough out on to a work surface. Divide into two balls and press each one into an 8” circle. With a sharp chef's knife or any long sharp metal edge cut each disc into 6 wedges.

Line one large baking sheet with parchment paper and place scones, evenly spaced. Bake for 12-14 minutes. Edges should be lightly toasted and the bottoms light golden brown.

Let cool on a rack for 20 minutes or until room temp.

ICING
Next mix your icing sugar and the wet ingredients together and drizzle, or brush the glaze on to the scones. Top each scone with some chopped pistachios. Let icing firm up for about 1/2 an hour. Enjoy!

And here's a silly video of me making them!
