I have been craving scones for the past few weeks and decided to try my hand at it. The result was perfection! I used half wheat flour to incorporate the benefits of fiber and to be honest it barely affected the final product. I served these to friends and they raved over them and could not even tell they were made with whole wheat flour!
Ingredients:
1 cup Strawberries, chopped
3 Tbsp Sugar
1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 cup White Flour
2 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp Salt
6 Tbsp Butter, in cubes, slightly softened
2/3 cup Half-and-Half or Milk
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Sprinkle fruit with half the sugar; set aside.
Combine remaining sugar with flours, baking powder and salt, whisk together.
Add butter, using a pastry cutter turn mixture into a fine meal.
Fold in fruit then milk. Be sure to not over stir.
On a lightly floured surface knead dough just enough to combine ingredients. Form small round balls of dough and place on a lined baking sheet.
Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, cool and enjoy!
