Whole Wheat Scones with Cranberries and Black Tea
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
Cut the unsalted butter into small pieces and add it to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, egg, and milk. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
-
Fold in the dried cranberries and black tea leaves.
-
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead it gently a few times until it comes together. Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch (5 cm) thick.
-
Use a sharp knife or biscuit cutter to cut the dough into 8 wedges. Place the scones onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
-
Remove from the oven and let the scones cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
