Easy Whole Wheat Scones Recipes

WHOLE-WHEAT SCONES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Add the butter and use your fingers to pinch the butter and the flour mixture together; when it's all combined, it will resemble large bread crumbs.
• 2. Use a wooden spoon to mix in the brown sugar and raisins, and then add the buttermilk. If the dough is quite sticky, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough has the texture of modeling clay. If it's too dry, add more buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it's wet enough.
• 3. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and roll it out into a rectangle 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into 12 (3-inch) squares. Leftover scraps can be rerolled to make more scones.
• 4. Oil a baking sheet. Fold each square of dough in half diagonally to form a triangle, and lay it on the sheet. Bake the scones until the tops are golden brown, about 30 minutes. Serve warm, with jam and a pot of hot tea if you like.

WHOLE WHEAT SCONES WITH OATMEAL AND BLUEBERRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
• Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon together in a bowl. Cut in butter cubes with a pastry cutter or 2 knives.
• Mix half-and-half and egg together in a bowl. Mix into the flour-butter mixture. Fold in blueberries and oats.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide in half. Roll each half into a circle and cut each into 8 wedges. Transfer scones to the prepared baking sheet; sprinkle raw sugar over the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.

SEEDED WHOLE-WHEAT SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Sift together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt. Dump anything remaining in the sifter into the bowl with the sifted ingredients. Place in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly.
• Combine the buttermilk and vanilla and, with the machine running, add to the flour mixture. Stop the machine and add the seeds. Pulse a few times to combine.
• Flour your hands and a spatula, as well as your work surface, and scrape out the dough. Gently shape into a rectangle 1 inch thick. Cut into 6 squares, then cut the squares diagonally to give you 12 triangular scones. The dough will be tacky but should not be too sticky to work with. If it is, add a little more flour.
• Place the scones on the baking sheet about 1 inch apart and bake 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from the heat and allow to cool, or serve warm.
