WHOLE GRAIN STRAWBERRY SCONES
www.RecipeGirl.com
1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped into small pieces
3 Tbs granulated sugar, divided (I used maple sugar- fabulous!)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
6 Tbs butter, in cubes, slightly softened
2/3 cup half and half or whipping cream
coarse sugar for topping
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper (or grease a cookie sheet).
2. In a small bowl, sprinkle strawberries with ½ Tbsp. sugar; set aside.
3. Combine remaining sugar with flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter with pastry cutter or 2 knives (can use your fingers too). When a good crumb mixture has formed, stir in strawberries and cream. Gently stir the dough until it comes together.
4. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead just a few times until dry ingredients are incorporated. If dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour.
5. Transfer to parchment lined baking sheet and pat into a circle that is about ¾-inch thick. Cut the circle into 8 wedges. Pull wedges out from center of circle to create ½-inch space between each scone.
6. Bake for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with coarse sugar and bake 5 to 10 more minutes, or until scones are golden brown and spring back when touched. Don’t overbake, or your scones will be dry.

They look amazing, and I’m so glad you used some wheat flour. I try to use it often too, but I generally have to just make substitutions in recipes I find. I’m bookmarking these to try soon. Really soon.
Thanks.

I made these scones today and they were AMAZING! My husband did NOT believe me when I said that I had made them (and he wasn’t trying to insult my baking skills)- he just thought they were from our local coffee shop. He said they were perfect! And if I don’t watch him, he’s going to eat them all! Thanks!
