Irish Scones with Kerrygold Butter and Jam

Irish_Scones_with_Kerrygold_Grass-Fed_Butter_and_Jam

This scone recipe can also be made into one large loaf cooked on a baking sheet. Cut a deep cross in the center and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, then reduce the heat to 400ºF (200ºC), Gas mark 6 and continue to cook for another 20 minutes until the base sounds hollow when tapped.

Ingredients:

  • 2 2/3 cups (1lb) plain flour, extra for dusting
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 1 tsp caster sugar
  • 2 tbsp (1oz) Kerrygold Salted Butter, chilled and diced
  • 1 cup (8fl oz) buttermilk
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • Kerrygold butter curls and strawberry jam, to serve

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C), Gas mark 7. Sift the flour into a bowl with the salt and bicarbonate of soda. Stir in the sugar and then, using your fingertips, rub in the butter until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

Make a well in the center and pour in the buttermilk and beaten egg. Using a tablespoon, gently and quickly stir the liquid into the flour. It should be soft but not sticky. Lightly flour the work surface. Turn the dough out onto it and pat into a circle about 1in (2.5cm) thick. Cut into triangles with a sharp knife or stamp out 2in (5cm) rounds with a cutter.

Arrange the scones on a non-stick baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes until well risen and golden brown. Leave to cool for at least 10 minutes on a wire rack, then serve with the butter curls and jam.

 

Cheddar variety

Mix ¼ cup (1oz) (25g) of Kerrygold grated Aged Cheddar in with the buttermilk. Brush the finished scones with melted Kerrygold butter and sprinkle with another ¾ cup (3oz) (75g) grated Kerrygold Aged Cheddar before baking. Mix 1 teaspoon wholegrain mustard into 2 tbsp (1oz) (25g) of butter and use to spread on the split baked scones before topping with sliced cooked ham or tomatoes to serve.

 

Fruit variety

Add ½ cup (2oz) (50g) of sultanas or raisins or dried pitted cherries when stirring the sugar into the dry ingredients, then finish as described above.

  • 4 g total sugars 
  • 8 g protein

Ingredients 

  • ½ cup uncooked brown sushi rice
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken stock
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 2 cups roasted butternut squash, chopped
  • 1 cup chopped zucchini
  • ½ cup frozen peas
  • 5 chopped crimini mushrooms
  • 1 tablespoon chopped sage
  • 1 teaspoon chopped thyme
  • ½ cup shredded Asiago cheese
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions   

  1. Follow package directions to partially cook the rice for about 40 minutes. Drain excess water and set aside.
  2. Preheat a medium sauté pan to medium-high heat and add olive oil.
  3. Add the onions and sauté until soft.
  4. Add the rice to the pan and sauté with the onions for about 2 minutes, stirring continuously.
  5. Reserve 1/2 cup of stock. Then pour 1/2 cup of stock into sauté pan and let it absorb into the rice.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup of wine and let it absorb into the rice.
  7. Continue adding stock and wine in 1/2-cup increments, cooking each time until the liquid is absorbed before adding more, about 30 to 45 minutes total.
  8. Add the squash, zucchini, peas, mushrooms, sage and thyme to the pan, and cook until the vegetables are soft, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  9. Add the last 1/2 cup of the stock. Once the stock is absorbed into the rice, add the cheese, cream, salt and pepper; stir well.

Dietitian’s tip:

Traditional risotto is made with uncooked white rice. Brown rice adds fiber and nutrients, but it takes a long time to make risotto this way. That’s why this recipe calls for partially cooking the rice.
