Yield Makes 8 scones

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup chilled buttermilk plus additional for brushing
3/4 cup dried berries and cherries mixture, large pieces coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1/3 cup honey-crunch wheat germ
1/3 cup (packed) dark brown sugar plus additional for sprinkling
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup chopped almonds

Steps:

  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 400°F. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix 1/2 cup buttermilk, dried fruit, and vanilla in medium bowl.
  • Whisk self-rising flour, wheat germ, 1/3 cup brown sugar, cardamom, and ginger in large bowl. Add butter and rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in almonds, then buttermilk mixture. Mix until dough comes together in moist clumps. Gather dough together. Turn out onto lightly floured work surface; flatten to 8-inch round. Using large knife, cut round into 8 wedges. Place on prepared baking sheet, spacing apart. Brush scones with buttermilk and sprinkle lightly with additional brown sugar.

I love these scones! They're so easy to make and they're always a hit with my family and friends. I usually make a double batch so I can freeze some for later.

These scones were easy to make and turned out great! I used a mix of dried cranberries, raisins, and chopped walnuts. The scones were light and fluffy, and the dried fruit and nuts added a delicious sweetness. I'll definitely be making these again.

These scones were a bit dry for my taste. I think I would add a little more butter or milk next time.

I love how easy these scones are to make. I just threw all the ingredients in a bowl and mixed them together. The dough was a little sticky, but it was easy to work with. I baked them for about 20 minutes and they turned out perfectly.
