Brown Sugar Wheat Scones Recipe
- 2 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 c. whole wheat flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 c. light brown sugar packed
- 3 Tbsp. baking pwdr
- 8 Tbsp. cool unsalted butter cut into pcs
- 1 1/4 c. whole, 2%, or possibly 1% lowfat milk
- 1 c. currants or possibly raisins
- 2 Tbsp. heavy cream
- 2 Tbsp. light brown sugar
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or possibly using a hand mixer), mix the flours, salt, sugar and baking pwdr at low speed.
- With the mixer running, add in the butter and mix till coarse and sandy.
- Add in the lowfat milk and mix till almost combined, then add in the currants and mix just to distribute them proportionately through the dough.
- Don't overmix; there may still be some flour not mixed in.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
- Knead the dough 10 times.
- With a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the dough 1-inch thick.
- With a biscuit or possibly cookie cutter or possibly a clean empty can, cut out circles about 2 1/2 inches in diameter.
- Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet with a spatula.
- Knead the scraps together just till combined, then roll out again and continue cutting out circles till all the dough is used up.
- Brush the tops of the scones with cream and sprinkle with brown sugar.
- Bake till light golden, about 15 min.
- Yield: 8 to 10 scones
