Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 1 cup whole-wheat flour
  • 1 cup white flour, plus more as needed
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 pound chilled butter (1 stick)
  • 1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts or cooked wheat berries
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk, or as needed
  • Vegetable oil or nonstick spray for greasing baking sheet

Instruction

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, combine whole-wheat flour, 1 cup white flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt. Using a pastry blender, or two knives scissors-fashion, cut butter into flour mixture until mixture resembles fine crumbs.
  • Add nuts or wheat berries. Stir in the maple syrup and egg and just enough milk so that dough leaves side of bowl and forms a ball. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface; gently roll in flour to coat. Knead lightly; if dough is very soft, roll in flour again. Transfer to a lightly greased baking sheet. Pat or roll into an 8-inch disk; cut into 8 wedges, but do not separate.
  • Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Immediately remove from baking sheet, and carefully separate. Serve warm.
