Strawberry Rhubarb Jam + Rose Scones
Spring has arrived and my fridge is packed with all sorts of wonderful goodies (I'm so happy!). The kitchen table is overflowing with flowers and we are going through pints of strawberries every week. I was so thrilled to see some fresh rhubarb at the farmers' market this week and immediately decided to make some homemade jam. It turned out lovely so I added some to my homemade scones this morning and we gobbled them up whilst enjoying the springtime morning air on the porch...with a cup of coffee of course. Happy baking!Strawberry Rhubarb Jam + Rose SconesMakes about six sconesIngredients:1 1/4 cup organic all-purpose flour (+ extra 2-3 tablespoons when rolling out the dough)2 teaspoons baking powder1/2 teaspoon rose salt1 teaspoon organic, dried edible rose petals3 tablespoons organic sugar (+ extra for sprinkling)2 tablespoons organic unsalted butter1 tablespoon organic coconut oil1/2 cup organic cream1 large organic egg, beaten (divided)3 tablespoons Strawberry Rhubarb Jam (recipe below)Directions:Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup flour, baking powder, salt, rose petals, and sugar.
