Sourdough Mango Scones #BakingBloggers

These quick, simple, flaky scones start with your sourdough discard.  I chose to dice up some dried mango to fold into the dough.  The results were amazing!!

The Baking Bloggers are sharing Scone recipes this month........



The Baking Bloggers, headed by Sue of Palatable Pastime, gather together each month to bake up a recipe based on a theme chosen by popular vote of the group.  This month Scones beat out St. Pat's Day by a nose.  Let's see what scones were baked up......

I had voted for St. Pat's Day but Scones are traditionally Irish so I guess both groups got their wish.  In fact, I see a few Irish themed scones above for us to check out.  

I did not go traditionally Irish with my scones.  Traditional Irish scones are normally drop style as I shared in these Currant Drop Scones.  I have also shared rolled and cut scones made with Oats. Oats were the grain used traditionally in Irish Scones.

However when most of us think of scones we think of triangular shaped biscuits that start out in a round as these do.

I had never made scones until 2014 when I was in the Secret Recipe Club group and made these Cheese and Spring Onion Scones that I got from Karen over at Lavender and Lovage.  Since then, realizing how easy and delicious they are I have made them using different techniques and flavorings numerous times.

Most scones use baking powder as the rising agent, much like American biscuits.  I have made mine today starting with Sourdough discard instead.  I knew they would turn out well because I have made Almond and Cherry Scones using this same recipe.

And that is one of the great things about Scones.  You can include and add-ins that you like and have a different delicious recipe, sweet or savory, each time you make them.  

I hope you enjoy these scones and get an opportunity to try some of the other recipes being shared today.  I am looking forward to baking and trying some of those delicious sounding scones.

Sourdough Mango Scones

prep time: 5 Mcook time: 15 Mtotal time: 20 M

These quick, simple, flaky scones start with your sourdough discard. I chose to dice up some dried mango to fold into the dough. The results were amazing!!

ingredients:

• 1 1/2 c. flour
• 3 T. sugar
• 1 T. baking powder
• pinch of salt
• 5 T. cold butter, cubed
• 1/2 c. dried mango, diced
• 1 c. sourdough discard
• 1/2 c. heavy cream + more for brushing
• 1 T. Demerara sugar

instructions:

How to cook Sourdough Mango Scones

1. Place the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into the bowl of a food processor along with the cubed butter.  Pulse until mixture is crumbly with some large pieces of butter still present.   Pour into a large bowl and add  mango, tossing to coat.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the discard and cream.  Add to the flour mixture and stir with a fork just until the dough comes together.   Pour out onto a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone mat.  Knead a few times to incorporate any loose flour and form a sticky dough.  Pat into an 8" round that is about 1" thick.  
3. Using a pastry cutter, divide into 8 pieces.  Brush with a little more heavy cream and sprinkle with the sugar. 
4. Bake in a preheated 425* oven for 15-17 minutes, until golden brown.  Let cool on pan for a few minutes before serving.
