Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup canola oil
1 egg, lightly beaten
¼ cup honey
¼ cup white sugar
1 cup diced fresh figs

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly sprinkle flour over paper.
Whisk flour, oats, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Whisk oil and egg together in a separate bowl until smooth; add honey and mix well. Mix oil mixture into flour mixture just until batter is moistened. Sprinkle sugar over figs in a bowl and toss to coat; fold into batter.
Transfer batter to the middle of the prepared baking sheet and form into a 7-inch circle.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Score the batter into 8 sections and continue baking until scones are cooked through and lightly browned on top, about 20 minutes more. Cut into 8 scones and slide every other scone back from the circle to allow cooling.

Yield Makes 20 scones

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

3/4 cup well-shaken buttermilk
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons heavy cream
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/2 lb dried Calmyrna figs, stems discarded and figs cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 1/2 cups)
2 large egg yolks
Special Equipment
parchment paper

Steps:

Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 400°F.
Whisk together buttermilk, syrup, and 1/2 cup cream in a small bowl. Mix together flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in bowl of a stand mixer with paddle attachment at low speed (or whisk in a large bowl) until combined. Add butter and mix (or blend with your fingertips or a pastry blender) until mixture resembles coarse meal with some small (roughly pea-size) butter lumps. Mix in figs, then add buttermilk mixture and mix until just combined. (Do not overmix.)
Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and drop 10 (1/4-cup) mounds of batter onto each sheet, leaving 1 inch between mounds.
Whisk together yolks and remaining 2 tablespoons cream, then brush over tops of scones (use all of egg wash).
Bake, switching position of baking sheets halfway through baking, until scones are puffed and golden, 20 to 25 minutes total.
Transfer to a rack and cool to warm.
