Honey Wholemeal Scones

Submitted by Lalaloula

"This recipe comes from the Australian Women's Weekly Muffins, Scones and Breads Cookbook. It makes for very tasty, just slightly sweet and quite healthy scones. I like them best topped with either cheese or some jam. Note: Cups refer to the Australian standard measuring cup, which equals 250 ml!"

 

• Ready In: 18mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Yields: 9 big scones

ingredients

• 2 cups flour (300g)
• 1 cup wholemeal flour (160 g)
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 20 g butter
• 1⁄4 cup honey (60ml)
• 1 cup milk, approx. (250 ml)

directions

1. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. Rub in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in honey and add as much milk as needed to form a soft dough.
2. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead lightly. Pat down to desired thickness and cut out scones of desired size (I use a 7.5 cm glass).
3. Bake at 220 °C for about 8 minutes.

Super simple to make, and so good (like all of Loula's scones!) I used a new cinnamon honey I got from the fruit truck (unpasteurized and local), and added frozen blueberries - I'm obsessed with blueberries right now! I wish I could have found my camera when they came out of the oven, because they were soooo gorgeous! Since I'm the only scone lover in the house, I got to have them for breakfast (and lunch some days) for the week. I really liked these! Made for Veggie Swap #61.

So easy and so delicious! This was a great last minute "what should we have for breakfast?" answer! I subbed almond milk and it was fantastic!

Another winner from Lalaloula. Your biscuits and scones never disappoint. These were lovely. Made exactly as written. Loved the addition of the honey. A lovely light, tender, semi sweet scone. I can't wait to make these again, they were wonderful served with soft butter and pansy jam. Thanks so much for sharing.

Yum! Just what I wanted, a low fat not too sweet scone. I used all wholemeal flour and sugar instead of honey and these were great.

I made these for a playgroup morning tea & they were a hit. I used chocolate honey & the honey flavouyr is just nice, nice too overpowering. I used all white self-raising flour (I'd run out of wholemeal) and left out the baking powder, served with just a little butter, these were a hit with both mums & toddlers, thanks for posting!
