Great scone recipe. Wanted something with whole wheat and no or little sugar. Could not tell they were whole wheat and my 4 yr old daughter loved them. Used all organic ingredients and had to follow directions to sub milk and vinegar for the buttermilk as i had none. Will definitly make again. The recipe was very easy to follow. They were as good as the scones I get at Whole foods. Thanks for sharing.

These were nice and I will make again. Even with the wheat flour they had a good consistency and were light and biscuit-like. I did forget to put in the brown sugar (doh!). So I just ate them with honey on top. Note that on step 3, it really isn't possible to "stir in" the blueberries. The dough is much to stiff for stirring. I had to knead the blueberries in. By the time I'd done that, it seemed like I'd already kneaded the dough sufficiently, so I just skipped step #4. I also like that this only dirtied a single bowl. I wonder if I could make a half recipe and make a smaller disk and cut into only 8 wedges? This recipe makes a lot.
