Whole Wheat Raspberry Scones Recipes

WHOLE WHEAT RASPBERRY DROP SCONES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• In a medium bowl, stir together flours, baking powder, salt, and sugar.
• With a rigid pastry cutter, cut in butter until mixture resembles a coarse meal with larger pea size pieces. Add raspberries and fold gently to coat. Make a well in the center and then add buttermilk and egg. Stir just until combined, taking care to not over mix. The dough will be very soft.
• Put a bit of flour in a bowl and coat your hands. Gently knead the dough 2 or 3 times, right in the bowl, coating your hands with additional flour as needed. The dough will be very loose. Using a large scoop, transfer scones to prepared pan, dividing into 9 equal portions in big rounded scoops. It works best to slightly compress the dough into the scoop using the side of the bowl, so the dough is compact.
• Brush tops of dough with egg white and sprinkle generously with raw sugar. Bake until scones are golden brown, about 13 minutes. Let cool on pan for 5 minutes and then remove to a wire rack. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.
