Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
3 tablespoons baking powder
8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 1/4 cups whole, 2 percent fat, or 1 percent fat milk
1 cup currants or raisins
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 tablespoons light brown sugar

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer), mix the flours, salt, sugar and baking powder at low speed. With the mixer running, add the butter and mix until coarse and sandy. Add the milk and mix until almost combined, then add the currants and mix just to distribute them evenly through the dough. Do not overmix; there may still be some flour not mixed in. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough 10 times. With a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the dough 1-inch thick. With a biscuit or cookie cutter or a clean empty can, cut out circles about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet with a spatula. Knead the scraps together just until combined, then roll out again and continue cutting out circles until all the dough is used up. Brush the tops of the scones with cream and sprinkle with brown sugar. Bake until light golden brown, about 15 minutes.

BORING!!!
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

They are really bland and boring... actually kind of tastless. I would recommend adding a lot to these to jazz them up! I... went the healthier route and wished that I just made the non-healthy version!Read more

My first time making scones
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I left the raisins out and added a little extra brown sugar on top, for my personal preference. My family really enjoyed... these. I'll definitely be making these again.Read more
