How to Make Animal Crossing: New Horizons Fruit Scones - Real Life Crafting Recipe

Hey everybody, on today's How Me Cooks, I'm injured, but the show must go on. We're making fruit scones. Alright, first things first, these are fruit scones, so I'm going to use the complete Animal Crossing fruit spectrum, including cherries, orange peel, pears, and peaches are good, but they look kind of gnarly when they're dried, so I'm using apricots, which are nice and shiny and golden, and they look really cute and they taste amazing. The cherries and the orange peel, I'm going to leave whole, but I am going to dice up the apricots and the pear. And actually, I'm going to use kitchen shears because I don't want to injure myself more. Alright, so the cherries, I did end up chopping up. That way, they will incorporate into the dough a little bit better. One fruit is missing, and that is apple. But, I didn't forget it. I'm going to incorporate apple using my favorite cider. Alright, in a large bowl or measuring cup, put all of your... fruit pop open this delicious cider over the fruit right after about two hours i'm going to strain the fruit you can drink this apple cider or toss it but i would drink it it tastes really fruity now all right under normal circumstances i would not be using my beautiful blender to make these i would make these by hand however injury so i only have one arm free so i'm gonna use the stand mixer you don't have to though if you are using a stand mixer in goes the flour some salt don't forget that sugar and baking powder put it on low to just mix it up a little bit in goes butter you want to make sure that it is soft again slow after about two minutes it should be kind of sandy yeah that's right sandy all right let's focus on the wet stuff all right to some buttermilk We're gonna add one chicken egg, a bit of vanilla, and whisk it up with a fork. Actually, before we add the wet ingredients, I'm gonna add the fruit in right now. It should incorporate a little bit better that way. Give that about a minute. Now you can pour in your wet stuff. Let the mixer go for about a minute until a cohesive dough forms. You don't want to over mix it though. Once you see the mixture kind of clump up, you're going to want to go in from the bottom and make sure that all the flour gets stirred in and then you can turn it back on again otherwise there's going to be some flour at the bottom that's never going to get mixed in you don't want that so the dough's already borderline perfect i'm just going to lightly flour a wooden surface and kind of put this into a small square flip it around all right now we're going to cover this for about 20 minutes you can wrap it in plastic i don't like using plastic i think it's wasteful so i'm just using a kitchen towel that'll keep it from drying out i'll be right back all right let's roll them out carefully roll them out you want them to be about an inch thick and i actually i'm going to get a ruler for this actually i'm going to do about three quarters of an inch let's roll them out a little bit too thin on the first go around that's okay you can scrunch up the dough pretty user-friendly stuff here it's nice and soft, it's got a good amount of fat so it's nice and pliable. Let's check that again. Nice, perfect. I'm going to cut using a standard dough cutter, and this is actually a little bit smaller than I normally would go, but I think I'll have a nicer circle if I make smaller. See? And actually, I'm going to flip them upside down when I put them on the baking sheet. For the second batch that you roll out, you don't have to worry too much about the dough and overworking it Just kind of work quick. Only add more flour if it starts to stick but this is going to be pretty good i think eventually you'll get to the end and you'll just have a bunch of scraps so just kind of push them together into something kind of perfect that way you don't even have to cut it out so you don't waste any more dough that will be mine might be a little ugly when it bakes up but it'll taste just as good so i got 11 perfect circles and well 10 perfect circles and one kind of a regular one but that one will taste good you want them on a parchment lined sheet. I'm using Silpat because it is reusable but you can use parchment. You do want to line them though otherwise they will stick. We want these to be nice and glossy so I'm making an egg wash which starts with one egg yolk and a little spoonful of cider that we soaked in that fruit. All right now brush over all of the top of your scones. All right these are prepped but we're gonna gloss them one more time but in the meantime you can preheat your oven. Once the oven comes to temperature, glaze them one more time. Into the oven they go! All right, after 15 minutes in the oven, take them out and then let them cool on a cooling rack for about 15 minutes. Typically, scones like this are split in half and then served with clotted cream and strawberry jam. Now, I don't live in the UK, so finding clotted cream is kind of hard, but I do have mascarpone cheese which is very similar in taste and texture and instead of strawberry jam which I think is really really gross uh I'm using raspberry jam which is my favorite jam of all time here's how I make it all right now people argue whether to put the clotted cream on first or the jam I prefer the cream on first and the jam on top also I would not dream of having scones without a nice strong beverage in this case fruity black i eat quite a few treats around the holidays but i probably eat these more than anything else because fruit scones are yummy if you liked that check out this playlist with plenty more Animal Crossing goodies also be sure to like comment and subscribe because there's plenty more coming see you next time thanks for watching bye
