Rye Wheat Scones image

Grainy, slightly sweet, crisp-edged and just irresistibly good with meats, soup or just butter and jam. Quick to mix in a food processor and can be patted into shape right on the baking sheet. The recipe is from Great Whole Grain Breads by Beatrice Ojakangas, a terrific bread book.

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.

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.

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.

ONION-RYE SCONES



Onion-Rye Scones image

Moist and slightly crumbly, these scones team especially well with soups made of root vegetables-potatoes, parsnips, and the like.

Yield makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups rye flour
3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons nonhydrogenated margarine, softened
2 tablespoons molasses or maple syrup
1/4 cup rice milk, or as needed
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium onion, quartered and thinly sliced
Poppy seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Combine the first 4 (dry) ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir together. Work the margarine into the flour mixture with a pastry blender or the tines of a fork until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
  • In a small bowl, whisk the molasses together with the rice milk. Work into the flour mixture, adding enough rice milk to form a soft dough. If the dough is sticky, work in some additional flour.
  • Transfer the dough to a well-floured board and knead briefly with floured hands.
  • Form the dough into a ball, then roll into a round 9 inches in diameter and place on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Score the round with a knife, about halfway through the dough, into 8 equal wedges.
  • For the topping, heat the oil in a small skillet. Add the onion and sauté over medium heat until lightly browned. Distribute the onion evenly over the scones, then lightly press them down with a spatula. Sprinkle with poppy seeds.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden. Let cool somewhat before slicing.

Time 30m

Yield 12 small scones

Number Of Ingredients 9

150 grams (approximately 1 1/4 cups) whole-wheat flour
100 grams (approximately 3/4 cup) unbleached all-purpose flour
10 grams (2 teaspoons) baking powder

125 grams (approximately 1/2 cup) buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment.

Either cut 2-inch circles with a biscuit cutter or cut into 6 squares, then cut each square in half on the diagonal. Transfer to baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes, until browned on the bottom.

Tips:

  • To ensure light and fluffy scones, make sure to use cold butter and buttermilk. Cold butter creates pockets of steam during baking, resulting in a flaky texture. Buttermilk adds a tangy flavor and helps tenderize the scones.
  • Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing can result in tough scones. Mix the dough just until it comes together.
  • For a crispy exterior, brush the tops of the scones with milk or cream before baking.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Store leftover scones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

These rye wheat scones are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. With their hearty flavor and flaky texture, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a tasty treat, give these scones a try!
