Whole Wheat Berry Scones

Prep Time10 mins
Cook Time25 mins
Total Time35 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries chopped
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour I prefer white whole wheat
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 stick butter cold
  • 1 cup half and half
  • 1 egg for egg wash
  • 1 tablespoon Turbinado sugar for dusting

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Beat egg with a little water; set aside.
  • Whisk together dry ingredients.
  • Cut butter into flour mixture so that it's blended, and with small chunks of butter still visible. Note: I recommend grating the butter when it's very cold, and then using your fingers to incorporate into the flour.
  • Add strawberries and combine with flour. Pour in half and half and gently mix until most of the flour is absorbed. Do not over mix. Empty onto parchment paper, or floured surface and gently form into disk. I like to fold the dough on top of itself using the sides of the parchment paper.
  • With hands or ice cream scoop, drop golf-ball size portions of dough onto baking sheet.
  • Brush tops of scones with egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes until tops are golden brown.
