Rye Wheat Scones image

Grainy, slightly sweet, crisp-edged and just irresistibly good with meats, soup or just butter and jam. Quick to mix in a food processor and can be patted into shape right on the baking sheet. The recipe is from Great Whole Grain Breads by Beatrice Ojakangas, a terrific bread book.

Time 20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup quick-cooking oats or 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup rye flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
8 tablespoons butter
2 eggs
1/4-1/3 cup milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Combine the oats, flours, baking powder, sugar and salt in a bowl or in a food processor. Cut in butter until largest clumps are the size of a pea. Add eggs and milk and mix well. (The dough may be very soft or wet, but don't worry.).
  • Sprinkle work surface with oats and caraway seeds, if desired. Turn dough onto it and pat into shape with floured hands.
  • Transfer to a parchment-covered baking sheet. (Or omit the seeds and oats and pat into shape directly on parchment-covered-baking sheet.).
  • Score deeply into 8 wedges.
  • Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden.
  • Pull wedges apart to serve.
