WHOLE-WHEAT SCONES

Categories     Bread     Breakfast     Brunch     Bake     Dried Fruit     Raisin     Shower     Whole Wheat     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

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.

WHOLE-WHEAT GINGER SCONES



Whole-Wheat Ginger Scones image

Coconut oil should really be called butter, but then we'd confuse it with a skin cream. It is the perfect nondairy fat to use for scones and other baked goods. These have the same rich, flaky texture that scones made with butter have, along with a subtle and pleasing coconut flavor.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dessert, side dish

Time 35m

Yield 12 scones

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups (250 grams) whole-wheat pastry flour
1 tablespoon (15 grams) raw brown sugar
2 teaspoons (7 1/2 grams) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon (2 grams) baking soda
1/4 teaspoon (2 grams) salt
6 tablespoons (85 grams) coconut oil
2/3 cup (155 grams) buttermilk
1 tablespoon agave nectar or mild honey
1/2 cup (70 grams) finely diced candied ginger

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Sift together the flours, salt, baking powder and baking soda and stir in the sugar. Place in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade or in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle.
  • Add the coconut oil to the food processor or mixer and pulse several times or beat on low speed until it is distributed throughout the flour and the mixture has the consistency of coarse cornmeal; if you're using a mixer, it will still have some lumps.
  • Beat together the buttermilk and agave or honey in a small bowl and add to the food processor or mixer. Add the ginger and process or mix at medium speed just until the dough comes together.
  • Scrape out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape into a rectangle, about 3/4 inch thick. Cut into 6 squares, then cut the squares in half on the diagonal to form 12 triangular pieces. Place on the baking sheet. Bake 15 to 18 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool on a rack.

WHOLE WHEAT APPLE PECAN SCONES



Whole Wheat Apple Pecan Scones image

As I was playing around with the mixture for these not-too-sweet scones I learned that if I used as much liquid (in the form of buttermilk or yogurt) as I usually do in my scones, they wouldn't be flaky. That is because the apple provides plenty of liquid. You just need to add enough buttermilk or yogurt to bring the dough together. Otherwise you will have drop biscuits and they will have a consistency more akin to a soft cookie than to a biscuit or scone. Juicy apples like Braeburn, Crispin and Empire work well for these scones.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     breakfast, brunch, dinner, lunch, snack, quick breads, appetizer, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 12 scones

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 apple, grated (145 grams grated apple)
1 tablespoon lime or lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon or lime zest
1 1/4 cups / 160 grams whole wheat flour,
3/4 cup / 90 grams unbleached all-purpose flour (or use all whole wheat flour)
1 tablespoon / 12 grams baking powder
1/2 teaspoon / 2 grams baking soda
1/4 teaspoon / 2 grams salt
1/2 cup / 55 grams rolled oats
2 tablespoons /30 grams raw brown sugar
6 tablespoons / 85 grams unsalted butter
Up to 1/4 cup / 60 grams buttermilk or yogurt
1/2 cup / 60 grams chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Toss grated apple with lemon or lime juice and zest in a bowl. Sift together flours, salt, baking powder and baking soda, and stir in oats and sugar. Place in a large bowl or in the bowl of standing mixer fitted with the paddle.
  • Add butter and mix in with your hands, rubbing the flour and butter briskly between your fingers; or beat on low speed until butter is distributed throughout the flour and the mixture has a crumbly consistency.
  • Add apple with liquid to the large bowl. Add pecans and stir or mix at medium speed until incorporated. Add just enough yogurt or buttermilk to allow dough to come together.
  • Scrape out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape into a rectangle, about 3/4 inch thick. Cut into 6 squares, then cut squares in half on the diagonal to form 12 triangular pieces.

SEEDED WHOLE-WHEAT SCONES



Seeded Whole-Wheat Scones image

True scones are not overly sweet. These have wonderful texture; even with whole-wheat flour and all the seeds, they're light. The seed mix I use includes sunflower, pumpkin, sesame, flax and poppy seeds.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     breakfast, easy, quick, appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 12 scones

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 ounces (1 1/3 cups) whole-wheat pastry flour
2 ounces (1/2 cup) all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3 ounces (1/2 cup) raw brown sugar
Scant 1/2 teaspoon salt
3 ounces (6 tablespoons) cold unsalted butter
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 tablespoons mixed seeds (for instance, sunflower, pumpkin, sesame, flax and poppy)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Sift together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt. Dump anything remaining in the sifter into the bowl with the sifted ingredients. Place in a food processor fitted with the steel blade and cut in the butter until the mixture is crumbly.
  • Combine the buttermilk and vanilla and, with the machine running, add to the flour mixture. Stop the machine and add the seeds. Pulse a few times to combine.
  • Flour your hands and a spatula, as well as your work surface, and scrape out the dough. Gently shape into a rectangle 1 inch thick. Cut into 6 squares, then cut the squares diagonally to give you 12 triangular scones. The dough will be tacky but should not be too sticky to work with. If it is, add a little more flour.
  • Place the scones on the baking sheet about 1 inch apart and bake 15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Remove from the heat and allow to cool, or serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh flour, baking powder, and buttermilk will give your scones the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the scones tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the scones hold their shape and rise properly.
  • Bake the scones at a high temperature. This will create a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior.
  • Don't overbake the scones. Overbaking will make them dry. Bake just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the scones warm. Scones are best served warm, with butter, jam, or cream.
