Ingredients

• 250 grams Whole wheat flour
• 100 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 75 grams Unsalted butter
• 25 grams Brown sugar
• 180 milliliters Milk
• 1 large Egg
• 15 grams Rolled oats (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the dry ingredients. Use your fingertips to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the brown sugar, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until well combined. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of this mixture to use as a glaze later.

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and mix gently with a wooden spoon until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix; the dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.

Step 7

Lightly flour your work surface and turn the dough out onto it. Gently pat the dough into a circle about 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick.

Step 8

Use a round cutter (around 5 cm or 2 inches in diameter) to cut out scones. Re-roll any leftover dough to cut more scones until all the dough is used.

Step 9

Place the scones on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart. Brush the tops with the reserved milk and egg mixture.

Step 10

If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of rolled oats on each scone for added texture and visual appeal.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and have risen nicely.

Step 12

Remove the scones from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature with butter, jam, or cream.
