Ready In: 30 mins
Serves: 8
Ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 1⁄2 cups unbleached flour
- 3 teaspoons baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 cup unsalted butter
- 3⁄4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 3⁄4 cup milk
Directions
- Sift the flours, baking powder and salt.
- Set them aside.
- Cream the butter.
- Beat in the brown sugar and then the egg.
- Mix the dry ingredients in alternately with the milk to make a soft biscuit-like dough.
- Pat it out to about 1 inch thick on a floured board, and form it into a neat circle.
- Cut it into 8 or 12 wedges, and bake them at 350°F on a lightly greased cookie sheet, until golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes.
- Less traditional but speedier is to scoop them out with an ice-cream scoop from the mixing bowl onto the cookie sheet.
- Flatten them slightly, and bake as above.
- Using this method, you will probably get 8 scones.
