Classic scones get a subtle makeover by swapping out a portion of the butter and heavy cream for cottage cheese. The result is a fluffy scone that is lower in fat, with a boost of protein. Although some butter is essential for giving scones their iconic flaky layers, the added moisture prevents the scones from drying too much, giving you a tender and moist crumb that is hard to beat.<\/p>\n
Blueberry Scones<\/h2>\n
Makes 8 scones<\/span><\/p>\n Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n In a large bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, lemon zest, and salt. Using a pastry blender or 2 forks, cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gently stir in blueberries.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n In a small bowl, stir together cold cottage cheese and cold cream until well combined. Add cheese mixture to flour mixture, stirring until a dry, shaggy dough begins to form. Working gently, bring mixture together with hands until a dough forms.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and gently knead until smooth by patting dough and folding it in half four to five times. Roll or pat dough into an 8-inch circle (about 1 inch thick), lightly flouring surface as needed to prevent sticking. Using a bench scraper or a serrated knife, cut dough into 8 wedges. Place wedges 2 inches apart on prepared pan. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n In another small bowl, whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon (15 grams) water; brush onto dough. Garnish with sparkling sugar, if desired.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Bake until edges are golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted in center registers 190\u00b0F (88\u00b0C), 20 to 25 minutes. Best served warm. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
