Whole-Wheat Ginger Scones image

Coconut oil should really be called butter, but then we'd confuse it with a skin cream. It is the perfect nondairy fat to use for scones and other baked goods. These have the same rich, flaky texture that scones made with butter have, along with a subtle and pleasing coconut flavor.

Time 35m

Yield 12 scones

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups (250 grams) whole-wheat pastry flour
1 tablespoon (15 grams) raw brown sugar
2 teaspoons (7 1/2 grams) baking powder
1/2 teaspoon (2 grams) baking soda
1/4 teaspoon (2 grams) salt
6 tablespoons (85 grams) coconut oil
2/3 cup (155 grams) buttermilk
1 tablespoon agave nectar or mild honey
1/2 cup (70 grams) finely diced candied ginger

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Sift together the flours, salt, baking powder and baking soda and stir in the sugar. Place in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade or in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle.
  • Add the coconut oil to the food processor or mixer and pulse several times or beat on low speed until it is distributed throughout the flour and the mixture has the consistency of coarse cornmeal; if you're using a mixer, it will still have some lumps.
  • Beat together the buttermilk and agave or honey in a small bowl and add to the food processor or mixer. Add the ginger and process or mix at medium speed just until the dough comes together.
  • Scrape out onto a lightly floured surface and gently shape into a rectangle, about 3/4 inch thick. Cut into 6 squares, then cut the squares in half on the diagonal to form 12 triangular pieces. Place on the baking sheet. Bake 15 to 18 minutes, until lightly browned. Cool on a rack.

I'm not a big fan of ginger, but I decided to try these scones anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The ginger flavor was subtle and not overpowering.

These scones were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I made these scones with gluten-free flour and they turned out great! They were just as light and fluffy as the original recipe.

These scones were a bit dry for my taste. I think I might add some more butter or milk next time.
