Ingredients

The following ingredients have 12 Servings
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup cold butter
  • 1 egg
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 3/4 - 1 cup berries (I used fresh blue and black berries)
  • milk (for brushing tops)
  • sanding sugar (for sprinkling)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375 F.
  • Combine both flours, sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. With a pastry blender (or fork) cut in cold butter until crumbly. Make a well in the center.
  • In a small bowl beat egg until frothy. Add milk. Pour into well and stir everything with a fork to make a soft dough.
  • Flour a surface and turn the dough out on it. Place berries on and carefully knead 8 to 10 times. Watch out not to crush the berries. Divide into 2 equal parts and form each into a 6 inch (15 cm) disk. Cut each circle into 6 wedges.
  • Grease a baking sheet and place scones on it. Brush the tops with milk and sprinkle with sanding sugar.
  • Bake for about 15 minutes until the scones have risen and are slightly browned.
