These Golden Honey Wheat Scones are a delightful twist on the classic, offering a wholesome and slightly sweet treat perfect for any time of the day.
Preheat your oven to 220°C and prepare a baking sheet by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and baking powder.
Ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed for consistent rising.
Cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Cold butter helps create a flaky texture in the scones.
Stir in the honey and gradually add the milk, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Add the milk slowly to avoid making the dough too sticky.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead lightly. Roll or pat it down to about 2 cm thickness.
Handle the dough gently to maintain its light texture.
Cut out scones using a round cutter or a glass and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Dip the cutter in flour to prevent sticking.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
Keep an eye on the scones to prevent over-baking.
Serve the scones warm with your favorite spread or topping.
Enjoy them fresh out of the oven for the best taste.
