Seeded Whole-Wheat Scones
- 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
- 23 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 6 tablespoons mixed seeds (for instance, sunflower, pumpkin, sesame, flax and poppy)
- 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.
