Whole Grain Cherry Cardamom Scones image

From the Whole Foods website. These turned out tasty and did not last long in our house. I have not made a lot of scones before, so I don't really know how they compare to others. We enjoyed them, however. They are not super sweet and tasted great with my morning coffee. This is from Whole Foods so the recipe called for all organic ingredients.

Categories     Scones

Time 40m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup rolled oats (not quick cooking or instant)
2 cups whole spelt flour
1/2 cup natural brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
6 tablespoons softened unsalted butter
1 egg
1/2 cup buttermilk or 1/2 cup plain kefir
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup dried cherries, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper (do not spray or oil) and set aside.
  • In a blender, pulverize the oats until you have coarse flour.
  • Place the oats in a large mixing bowl. Add the spelt flour, cane sugar, baking powder, cardamom, baking soda, and salt.
  • Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut in the butter until it is well mixed and the flour resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
  • In a separate medium bowl, lightly beat the egg. Whisk in the buttermilk and vanilla. Add this to the flour and oat mixture. Stir to combine.
  • Gently fold in the cherries.
  • Drop the scones into 8 rounded balls on the parchment-lined cookie sheet a couple of inches apart from one another. The scones will rise and enlarge considerably.
  • Bake until golden brown, about 17 to 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a scone comes out clean.
  • Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving.

I've made these scones several times now and they're always a hit! They're the perfect balance of sweet and tart, and the cardamom adds a lovely flavor.

These scones were a bit dry. I think I would have preferred a recipe with more butter or milk.

Delicious! The scones were light and fluffy, and the cherry-cardamom flavor was perfect. I will definitely be making these again.

The scones were good, but I found the cardamom flavor to be a bit overpowering. Next time I'll use less.

These scones were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred a more traditional scone recipe.

Easy to make and delicious! I used frozen cherries and they worked just fine. The scones were a hit with my family.

These scones were a delightful treat! The cherry-cardamom combination was unique and flavorful, and the scones themselves were light and fluffy. I'll definitely be making these again.
