Yield Makes 12 scones

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 cups whole-wheat flour, plus more if needed
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1 cup raisins
1 1/2 cups buttermilk, plus more if needed
Jam (optional), for serving
Hot tea (optional), for serving

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Add the butter and use your fingers to pinch the butter and the flour mixture together; when it's all combined, it will resemble large bread crumbs.
  • 2. Use a wooden spoon to mix in the brown sugar and raisins, and then add the buttermilk. If the dough is quite sticky, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough has the texture of modeling clay. If it's too dry, add more buttermilk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it's wet enough.
  • 3. Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and roll it out into a rectangle 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into 12 (3-inch) squares. Leftover scraps can be rerolled to make more scones.
  • 4. Oil a baking sheet. Fold each square of dough in half diagonally to form a triangle, and lay it on the sheet. Bake the scones until the tops are golden brown, about 30 minutes. Serve warm, with jam and a pot of hot tea if you like.

These scones were really good! The only thing I would change is to add a little more sugar. I found them to be a bit too tart for my taste.

These scones were a bit dry for my taste, but they had a good flavor. I think I'll try adding some extra butter or cream next time.

These scones were absolutely delicious! I made them for a brunch party and they were a hit. They were light and fluffy, with a perfect crumb. The sweetness of the cranberries and the tanginess of the lemon zest were a perfect combination.
