Honey Wholemeal Scones

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: 18 mins
• 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.
