1 ¹⁄₃ cups all-purpose flour
¹⁄₄ cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon double-acting baking powder
³⁄₄ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons cold butter, cut into bits
²⁄₃ cup whole wheat flour
¹⁄₃ cup miller bran bran flour
³⁄₄ cup chopped walnuts
²⁄₃ cup raisins
1 ¹⁄₂ tablespoons grated fresh lemon rind
1 large egg
¹⁄₂ cup buttermilk
an egg wash
1 large egg yolk, beaten with
1 teaspoon water
softened butter (to accompany)

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.

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]
