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.

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

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my scones turned out really dry. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

These scones are a great make-ahead breakfast or snack. I often make a batch on the weekend and then freeze them. They're perfect for a quick grab-and-go meal.

These scones are so versatile. You can add any type of fruit or nuts that you like. I've made them with blueberries, raspberries, and even chocolate chips.

The scones were good, but they didn't rise as much as I would have liked. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These scones were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add a little bit more milk or yogurt next time.
