Irish Brown Scones image

A taste of Ireland, these hearty, flaky scones are great warm with butter or jam or dipped into some seafood chowder! Cooking them on a preheated baking sheet gives them a flavor similar to cooking pancakes on a hot griddle.

Time 30m

Yield 8 scones, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 ounces whole wheat flour
6 ounces all-purpose flour
4 ounces wheat bran
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 ounces butter
1 tablespoon brown sugar
7 fluid ounces buttermilk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F Lightly dust a baking sheet with some flour.
  • Put the whole wheat flour and wheat germ into a large mixing bowl. Sift the all-purpose flour, salt and baking soda into the bowl. Mix the ingredients well together with fingers.
  • Next, rub in the butter to pea-sized pieces; then mix in the sugar.
  • At this stage, put the lightly dusted tin into the oven to preheat.
  • Stir in enough buttermilk to make a soft dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead for a few seconds. Cut out scones with a round cookie cutter.
  • Put the scones on the preheated baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes or until risen and a golden brown.
  • Cool on a wire tray.
