KUMQUAT SCONES

-All-purpose flour -Unsalted butter -Baking powder -Salt -Kumquats -Sugar (regular granulated and powdered) -Milk -Lemon juice

First, roast the kumquats. Simply slice them into 1/4 inch rounds, removing the seeds as you go. Place them on a baking sheet, drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt and roast at 375F for about 25 minutes.

Cut butter into flour and salt using a pastry blender. Then add in egg, sugar, kumquats and milk. Once the mixture comes together, turn out onto a clean work surface and knead about 10 times.

Shape into a circle, slice into 8 pieces and separate. Brush with an egg wash and bake at 400F for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown.

Make the icing. Combine powdered sugar and lemon juice in a bowl with a whisk until smooth. Use a spoon to drizzle the icing over the scones.
