WHOLE-WHEAT BUTTERMILK SCONES WITH RAISINS AND OATMEAL



Whole-Wheat Buttermilk Scones With Raisins and Oatmeal image

You may be accustomed to the gigantic, sweet scones in coffee shops in this country. They are nothing like the diminutive, light scones that originated in Britain and Ireland. This is a whole-wheat version, only moderately sweet -- the way I think scones should be. You can always top them with jam or honey if you want more sugar. The whole-wheat flour brings a rich, nutty flavor to the scones.

Time 30m

Yield 12 small scones

Number Of Ingredients 10

150 grams (approximately 1 1/4 cups) whole-wheat flour
62 grams (approximately 1/2 scant cup) unbleached all-purpose flour
40 grams (approximately 1/3 cup) oatmeal
10 grams (2 teaspoons) baking powder
5 grams (1/2 teaspoon) baking soda
25 grams (approximately 2 tablespoons) raw brown sugar (turbinado)
3 grams (approximately scant 1/2 teaspoon) salt
70 grams (2 1/2 ounces / 5 tablespoons) unsalted butter
125 grams (approximately 1/2 cup) buttermilk
75 grams (approximately 1/2 cup) raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
  • Sift together flours, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and salt. Stir in oatmeal. Rub in butter, or place in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle and beat at low speed, or pulse in a food processor, until incorporated. Add buttermilk and raisins and mix just until dough comes together.
  • Transfer to a lightly floured work surface and gently shape into a 1/2-inch thick rectangle. Cut either into 2-inch circles with a biscuit cutter or into 6 squares, then cut each square in half on the diagonal. Transfer to baking sheet. Bake 15 minutes, until browned on the bottom. Flip over, bake 2 more minutes, and remove from the heat. Serve warm or allow to cool.

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.

Time 30m

2 tablespoons raw sugar, or to taste

Tips:

  • Use fresh pomegranate seeds. Fresh pomegranate seeds are plump and juicy, and they add a delicious burst of flavor to scones. If you can't find fresh pomegranate seeds, you can use frozen or dried pomegranate seeds, but they won't be as flavorful.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the scones tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, and then stop.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough before baking will help the scones to rise evenly. You can chill the dough for up to 2 hours, or overnight.
  • Bake the scones until they are golden brown. The scones are done baking when they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Serve the scones warm. Scones are best served warm, fresh out of the oven. You can also reheat them in a toaster oven or microwave.
  • Garnish the scones with pomegranate seeds and a drizzle of honey. This will add a touch of sweetness and color to the scones.

Conclusion:

Whole wheat pomegranate scones are a delicious and healthy breakfast or snack. They are made with whole wheat flour, pomegranate seeds, and honey, and they are packed with flavor. These scones are also easy to make, and they can be made ahead of time and reheated when you're ready to serve them. So next time you're looking for a tasty and nutritious treat, give these whole wheat pomegranate scones a try!
