Time 35m

Yield 15

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 ⅓ cups whole wheat flour
½ cup wheat germ
¼ cup packed brown sugar
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ cup shortening
1 cup sweetened dried cranberries (i.e. Craisins®)
2 tablespoons grated orange zest
1 egg
¾ cup milk
¼ cup orange juice

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.

These scones were amazing! I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out perfectly. The cranberries and orange zest gave them a wonderful flavor, and the scones were light and fluffy. I will definitely be making these again.

These scones were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I overmixed the dough. However, the flavor was good and I would be willing to try them again.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time. However, the flavor was good and I would be willing to try them again.
