directions

  • Sift together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, soda and salt.
  • Blend in butter until mixture resembles coarse meal and stir in whole wheat flour, bran, walnuts and raisins.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together lemon rind, egg and buttermilk.
  • Add to flour mixture and stir with a fork until it just forms a sticky but manageable dough.
  • Knead dough lightly on a floured surface for 30 seconds and pat gently into a ¾ inch thick round.
  • Cut out rounds with a 2 – 2 ¼ inch cutter dipped in flour and arrange on a buttered baking sheet.
  • Form scraps into a ball, reshape and cut more rounds.
  • Brush tops with egg wash and bake in the middle of a preheated 390F oven for 15-17 minutes, or until golden.
  • Serve warm.

  1. With the raisins, whole wheat flour, zest & buttermilk, THESE SCONES HAVE GREAT TASTE, & I'd happily make them again especially for a satisfying breakfast! Great with a fruity butter or even a sweet honey butter! Thanks for the keeper! [Tagged, made & reviewed in the Bargan Basement cooking game]

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
