You will love that you can take these Margarita Scones with you anywhere you’d like because you won’t need to hide it in a paper bag and look like you are sneaking around with some unlawful substance you’re not supposed to have on the street.
Margaritas are my favorite drink!
I do often wish I could walk around with one, it must be that delicious lime taste along with the salt. I have mentioned before how much I love salt, right?
These scones are the perfect combination of all the wonderful taste of a great Margarita.
If you like lemon scones,these will give you a run for your money!
I didn’t forget one of the best part of eating scones, it’s curd….if you have lemon scones, lemon curd is delicious.
For these Margarita Scones Margarita Curd was a must have.
Fruit Curd is so delicious, scones are almost naked with out them!
- 2 cups flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon coarse Salt
- ½ cup ice cold butter, cut into small pieces
- 4 drops Lorann's lime oil
- 2 drops Lorann's lemon oil
- ¼ cup margarita mix (I used the mix with alcohol in it, you can use the mix without if you prefer)
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 2 eggs
- In medium bowl, mix flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
- Cut in cold butter with a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Mix Margarita mix and heavy cream with lime and orange oil along with eggs.
- Blend the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until it’s just combined.
- Roll out dough onto lightly floured surface (I roll out the dough onto floured wax paper sheets)
- Cut dough into desired shape
- Place scones onto parchment lined baking sheet
- Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
- 1 cup Margarita Mix (I used the mix with alcohol in it, you can use the mix without if you prefer)
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ lime, juiced
- 5 egg yolks
- 8 tablespoons butter
- 1 drop leaf green coloring
- Place margarita mix, lime juice along with sugar into medium sauce pan, heat until it simmers (tiny bubbles on the outside edge of saucepan).
- Add butter and heat until melted.
- Mix egg yolks in medium bowl with whisk.
- Add in coloring
- Take saucepan off heat and slowly pour mixture into egg yolks mixing continually so the eggs don't scramble.
- Return mixture to saucepan and heat for one more minute or until the mixture coats the back of a spoon.
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 4 drops lime oil
- 2 drops neon green coloring
- 2 teaspoons water
- 1 tablespoon corn syrup
- 1 drop leaf green coloring
- 1 drop lemon yellow coloring
- 2 tablespoons coarse salt for tops of scones
- Mix all ingredients until smooth and drizzle over cooled scones, shake coarse salt on top of scones.
- Allow icing to dry completely before stacking.
So you can see how this will be much easier than trying to carry a drink with you all day that will spill on a moments notice!
So we have covered public intoxication and nakedness today, kind of out of the realm of normal here. But fun none the less.
