Mascarpone Cheese Scones

Mascarpone Cheese Scones have a subtle orange and butter flavor. The texture is soft and dense inside with flaky, crispy outside and corners.

Mascarpone Cheese Scones

I had leftover mascarpone cheese when I picked up ingredients to make Turkey Lasagna. However, mascarpone cheese doesn’t go in lasagna. Ricotta cheese does. I picked up the wrong item at the store and now I have a huge tub of mascarpone begging to be used.

Coincidently, you can substitute mascarpone for Greek yogurt, sour cream, and buttermilk in most recipes.

As well, I had been wanting to try orange zest in a scone recipe and this gave me the perfect opportunity!

I sued heavy cream, mascarpone, and butter. As a result, these scones are soft and decadent. They have a dense, moist texture inside and are coated with a flaky outside.

In addition, I stirred in orange zest and orange juice. They didn’t have an overpowering orange flavor – just a hint, just enough.

Perfection.

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • In another bowl, stir together mascarpone, heavy cream, and orange juice. Stir until combined. This will combine easier if they are at room temperature.
  • Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir together gently until it forms a dough.
  • Flour surface lightly and turn the dough onto the flour. pat the dough into a circle. It should be about 1 and 1/2 inch high and will be about 6 to7 inches round.

  • (At this point you can freeze them and back later. To freeze place on a flat surface, like a baking sheet, and freeze. When they are frozen place them in a zip-top plastic bag and store until ready to bake. When ready to bake, add 5 minutes to your baking time.)
  • Or, bake immediately.

These scones did not disappoint. In fact, I made myself stop eating them after two. Certainly, I could have eaten the whole batch!

    These were my first scones to bake. I was looking for a softer scone than the typical product. These fit perfectly. My husband’s response, “Oh. My. God – these are delicious! I think these may be the best I’ve ever tasted.” Thank you for sharing your recipe.

    Hello from Southeastern Ohio (aka: Appalachia)….
    The Scone recipes look amazing! I’ll begin with the Marscapone Scones and work my way through the rest. One question: do you happen to have a recipe on how to make “Clotted Cream” to serve on the Scones? Thank you for your wonderfully creative (and easy!!) recipes. Your blog rocks!!

      you have to leave pasturized (not ultra pasturized)heavy cream in the oven overnight at a low heat to get clotted cream. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/257734/chef-johns-clotted-cream/

    good day to you, from GREECE, for some reason, the scones did not rise as ei expected them, dont know why, i must say i missed the salt, in the mixture, also i used a cookie cutter, made them round,and they browned really quick i would say, perchaps because i used a dark, baking pan, it,s said they absorb more heat that the stainless-aluminum ones?anyway, they taste really nice, but they were sort of biscuit , at least they reminded biscuits, i will try to make them again, maybe this time i will be more careful!! THANK YOU, AND BEST REGARDS FROM CRETE, GREECE!!!

      I’ve read when using biscuit/cookie cutters, make sure they’re sharp and not to twist the cutter when cutting. Apparently, that motion tends to seal the cut surface and prevents biscuits/scones from rising properly. Good luck!

    I have been making scones for over 50 years using a recipe from Scotland, but these will be my new favorite! Easy to make & taste great! Made a glaze for them with powdered sugar & some of the fresh o.j. – really are great! Thanks so much.

    I have the same question as Roy about baking time.
    Also, did you add the oj and zest to the liquids?
    Thanks,

    I was looking at your wonderful goody, “Mascarpone Cheese Scones” which look soooo good. I got down to the part, 8. Cut the dough into 8 wedges and place 1 inch apart on prepared baking sheet. Then there was a photo showing the finished product. I could not find out like how long do you back it for and the finishing steps.

    I’m not a baker and have no idea what to do next. Can you please help me?

    I luv you Blog and the items you show are always great. I think that it is one of the most beautiful Blog on the Web for cooking and the presentations are all so well done.

    I don’t know how I will get your answer so could you please send a direct e-mail response. I am so sorry to be such a pain in the sit down!!!

    Thanks and have a great day.
    Roy From Texas
