Apple, Fig, Pecan & Honey Scones & A JING Tea Giveaway

November 18, 2015 by hannahhossack 114 Comments

Apple, fig, pecan and honey scones with a hint of spice - Domestic GothessIt is no secret that I love tea; I drink about seven cups of tea a day but barely notice most of them as I am so busy doing something else at the same time; but sometimes it is good to stop for a moment, take a step back from whatever it is that you are so incredibly busy with and breathe. Take ten minutes for yourself to relax, regroup, savour the tea and come back to whatever you were working on refreshed and focused.

Fig, apple, pecan and honey scones with a hint of spiceOf course a tea break isn’t a proper tea break without something sweet to nibble on…That is where these apple, fig, pecan and honey scones come in. They are quick and easy to throw together and make a very satisfying snack come elevenses or the 4pm slump. The hearty flavours are perfect for the colder weather and the apple, fig, honey and honey butter glaze provide plenty of sweetness; I added a hint of spice, but just a hint as I didn’t want to overpower the other flavours, feel free to double the amount I used if you want a bit more of a kick. The scones need nothing more than a slathering of butter and a drizzle of honey to serve (and a cup of tea of course). They can also be frozen once baked so you have a stash for whenever you need a tea break; just allow to defrost at room temperature for an hour or two then refresh in a low oven for five minutes or so before serving.

Apple, fig, pecan and honey scones - Domestic GothessI was kindly sent some products by JING tea to make my tea breaks more enjoyable, a hand blown glass tea infuser mug which is a beautiful piece of kit which allows you to enjoy loose leaf tea wherever you like. The clever lid inverts to become a receptacle for the infuser section meaning that there is no mess; it also comes with a little sand timer which ensures that your tea is brewed to perfection, not too weak and not too strong. I was also sent a caddie of loose leaf Chai tea, and one of Earl Grey; they are really delicious teas with far more flavour than a standard teabag; and any of these products would make great gifts for Christmas, which is approaching at a frightening pace… JING are also very kindly giving away an infuser mug set to one lucky reader, all you need to do to enter is to fill out the competition form at the bottom of this post. That’s not all though, if you visit Supergolden Bakes she is giving away a beautiful teapot set and Patisserie Makes Perfect is giving away a tea for two set.

Apple, Fig, Pecan & Honey Scones

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 8
Author Domestic Gothess

Ingredients

Scones

  • 450 g (3 + 3/4cups) self-raising flour
  • 2 rounded tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • pinch salt
  • 85 g (1/3 cup) cool butter, cubed
  • 160 g (5.5 oz) dried figs, roughly chopped
  • 1 large eating apple peeled and diced
  • 75 g (2.5 oz) pecans, roughly chopped
  • 5 tbsp honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 100 ml 91/3 cup + 1 tbsp) full fat milk, plus extra for glazing

To Glaze

  • 25 g 9scant 2 tbsp) butter
  • 1 tbsp honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 220C/425F/gas mark 7 and line a baking sheet with baking parchment.
  2. Sift together the flour, baking powder, spices and salt in a large bowl. Add the butter and rub in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the figs, apple and pecans.
  3. Whisk together the honey, eggs and milk, pour it into the dry ingredients and mix to form a soft dough; turn it out onto a floured surface and shape into a ball then flatten out into a round about 2-3cm thick.
  4. Use a sharp knife dipped in flour to cut the disc into eight wedges, transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, slightly spaced apart as they will rise and spread.
  5. Brush the top of each wedge with a little milk then bake for 18-20 minutes until risen, golden and cooked through (a skewer should come out clean). Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
  6. While the scones are baking make the glaze by heating the butter and honey together in a small pan until melted and smooth. When the scones come out of the oven, give each one a generous coating of the glaze using a pastry brush.
  7. Store in an airtight container, they are best on the day they are made but are still moist the next day, after which they are best split and toasted. They can also be frozen, just allow to defrost then refresh in a low oven for about 5 minutes.

    Thank you so much for including giveaway entry for non-social media types like me.

    This brought back memories of learning to bake scones when I was a child; it was one of the first things we were taught to cook at tech and our mothers would all be able to whip up a batch of scones without using a recipe when unexpected visitors arrived. Such a shame that so few people bake scones these days.

    My favourite tea at the moment is Redbush, either plain or with flavours.

    I do love my cuppas 🙂 I think I have about 7 cups a day too. Usually green tea while I am working away, but my favourite cuppa is the one just before bed when I can relax a minute. I also love my Sunday morning pot of tea. I go for a run, and then pull something delicious out of the oven to treat myself for breakfast – I think these scones are going to be the next baked treat to accompany my tea!

    I love PG Tips. When we went to America they were selling PG Tips but it just didn’t quite taste the same and I was so disappointed. It is always my go-to tea. I really love the smell of fruit teas but find they don’t seem to have much flavour? Perhaps I am not leaving the teabag to steep for long enough.
