Whole Wheat Raspberry Drop Scones
Yield: 9 scones
Moist in the inside with a thin, crackly raw sugar crust, these Whole Wheat Raspberry Drop Scones are a sweet (but not too sweet) summer joy! Enjoy as an easy grab-and-go breakfast or dessert all summer long.
Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ cup sugar
- 4 tablespoon cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2'' pieces
- ¾ cup fresh raspberries
- ½ cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 1 egg white
- 2 tablespoon raw sugar
Instructions
- 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 (mine is 3 tablespoons), 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.
Notes
These are definitely best eaten the same day. But a great trick for eating them the next day? Simply preheat a baking stone in a 300° F oven and then set already baked scones on the stone for 3 to 5 minutes. The scones will be almost like fresh baked!
