Yield Makes 8 scones

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup chilled buttermilk plus additional for brushing
3/4 cup dried berries and cherries mixture, large pieces coarsely chopped
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour
1/3 cup honey-crunch wheat germ
1/3 cup (packed) dark brown sugar plus additional for sprinkling
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 cup chopped almonds

Steps:

  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 400°F. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Mix 1/2 cup buttermilk, dried fruit, and vanilla in medium bowl.
  • Whisk self-rising flour, wheat germ, 1/3 cup brown sugar, cardamom, and ginger in large bowl. Add butter and rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in almonds, then buttermilk mixture. Mix until dough comes together in moist clumps. Gather dough together. Turn out onto lightly floured work surface; flatten to 8-inch round. Using large knife, cut round into 8 wedges. Place on prepared baking sheet, spacing apart. Brush scones with buttermilk and sprinkle lightly with additional brown sugar.

These scones were a bit dry and crumbly. I think I would add a little more butter or milk next time.
