Raspberry & Strawberry Whole Wheat Scones

Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup strawberries cut in small pieces
  • 1 stick 8 tablespoons butter, chilled and cubed
  • 5 tablespoons sugar split
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 egg white for egg wash
  • Turbinado sugar

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Chop fresh strawberries and toss with 1 tablespoon of the sugar. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • In food processor, add flour, baking powder and soda, 3 tablespoons sugar. Pulse a few times to combine. Add butter to the mixture and pulse about 25 times, or until butter pieces are well-blended and very small.
  • Empty into bowl, add strawberries; combine.
  • Whisk cream with one egg until just blended; add vanilla extract. Starting with just 1/4 cup of the cream mixture, stir in gently until completely combined and dough holds together. Batter should be thick and slightly tacky. If the texture is crumbly, add a little more cream until dough holds shape.
  • Turn out onto floured surface, knead a couple times and shape into an 8-inch circle. It should be about 2 inches thick.
  • Slice into 8 pieces (like a pie) and brush top surface with egg wash. Dust with Turbinado sugar.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes, or until tops are golden brown.
