Seeded Whole Wheat Scones Food

SEEDED WHOLE-WHEAT SCONES

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.

WHOLE-WHEAT SCONES

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.

SPRING ONION AND PARMESAN WHOLE-WHEAT SCONES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spread parchment paper on a large baking sheet and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon whole-wheat flour. Set aside.
• Mix together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, sugar, salt and 1 cup whole-wheat flour in a large bowl, using a fork. Cut or rub in the butter into the flour mixture, with a pastry blender or your fingertips, until the mixture resembles coarse sand with a few pea-sized butter pieces remaining. Add the onions, cheese and thyme and toss gently.
• Whisk together the egg and milk in a small bowl; add to the flour mixture and stir gently with a wooden spoon just until mixed (do not overmix). The dough will be sticky.
• Turn the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon whole-wheat flour. Using a serrated knife that's been coated with cooking spray, divide the dough in half and shape into two 5-inch circles. Score each circle into 6 wedges with the knife.
• Bake until firm to the touch, 20 to 25 minutes. Cut each circle into 6 wedges using the scored lines and serve.

RYE WHEAT SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Combine the oats, flours, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl or in a food processor. Cut in butter until largest clumps are the size of a pea. Add eggs and milk and mix well. (The dough may be very soft or wet, but don't worry.).
• Sprinkle work surface with oats and caraway seeds, if desired. Turn dough onto it and pat into shape with floured hands.
• Transfer to a parchment-covered baking sheet. (Or omit the seeds and oats and pat into shape directly on parchment-covered-baking sheet.).
• Score deeply into 8 wedges.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden.
• Pull wedges apart to serve.

CRANBERRY ORANGE WHEAT SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• In a large bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, wheat germ, brown sugar, baking powder, salt and nutmeg. Mix in shortening until everything looks crumbly. Stir in the cranberries and orange zest. In a separate bowl, stir together the egg, milk and orange juice. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture. Stir until dough forms. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead briefly to get the dough to hold together. Roll out to 1/2 inch thickness and cut into circles with a biscuit cutter. Place scones 2 inches apart on the baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the tops and bottoms are golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.

WHOLE WHEAT BANANA SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Mix both flours, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda together in a large bowl. Cut in butter with a pastry blender until dough is loose and crumbly. Add bananas and cut in with the pastry blender. Stir in milk and eggs until just combined; dough will be sticky but should come together into a ball.
• Divide dough in half. Form each portion into a mound on one half of the prepared baking sheet, then pat to flatten into a 3/4- to 1-inch high circle. Use a sharp knife to score each circle into 8 wedges, cutting about 1/3-inch deep.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 17 minutes. Remove from the oven and break scones apart at the score lines.

WHOLE WHEAT CHERRY SCONES

• Stir several times; add chopped cherries, stirring until all ingredients are combined.
• Knead 10 to 12 times. Chill 30 minutes or longer.
• Pat dough into 10-inch circle approximately 1/2-inch thick. Brush dough with beaten egg white.
• Cut into 10 pie wedges. Place scone wedges approximately 1-inch apart on greased cookie sheets.
• Bake in 15 to 20 minutes, or until light golden brown.
