Fruitcake Scones

December 19, 2012

Fruitcake Scones

The Holidays would be boring if no one referenced Fruitcake, right?

It seems to be the talk of a lot of jokes.

All I know is my dad loves it.

So these were made with him in mind.

Not sure these will stay fresh for years and years, but I’m sure he’ll be putting a few in the freezer so he can snack on them in the coming weeks.

All the while thinking of his wonderful daughter of course!

Fruitcake Mix is diced up pineapple, cherry, orange rinds and other candied fruits.

Roll your scone dough into a log in between wax paper.

Roll out scone dough to desired thickness. Scones puff up nicely. If you want them thick. Roll them about 1/2″ thick. For thinner scones 1/4 ”

 

I used a 4 inch round cookie cutter to cut the scones.

These are not only great hot with butter slathered on them, they are great with icing too.

    Recipe calls for rum emulsion but I don’t see anything about it in the instructions. Also, what is a rum emulsion? Thanks.

      rum emulsion is a baking flavor like extract but has a really great smooth flavor, less alcohol tasting. You can add rum extract instead. I just prefer the flavor of rum baking emulsion (I use LorAnn brand) and you add it when you add the vanilla. If you don’t have either, add a splash of rum.

    Can you leave out rum. Maybe use almond or vanilla extract

      Yes, of course you can use vanilla or almond extract if you don’t want to use rum extract. Coconut extract is another great possibility.

    […] Or do you fear even trying it, after all the bad attention it gets? Well as I mentioned on my Fruitcake Scone post, fruitcake is my dads favorite, so I not only made him a batch of scones but I also made him […]
