Ingredients

• 250 g Wholemeal flour
• 50 g All-purpose flour
• 2 tsp Baking powder
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 80 g Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 180 ml Milk
• 3 tbsp Honey
• 1 whole Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
• 1 tbsp Optional: Rolled oats or additional wholemeal flour

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add the cold, cubed butter to the dry mixture. Using your fingertips or a pastry cutter, work the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 4

In a separate bowl or jug, mix the milk and honey until the honey is fully dissolved.

Step 5

Gradually pour the milk and honey mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring with a fork or spoon until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing; the dough should be soft but not sticky.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead 2-3 times to bring it together. Pat it out to a thickness of about 2.5 cm (1 inch).

Step 7

Using a round 6 cm (2.5 inch) cutter, cut out scones and place them on the prepared baking tray. Re-roll the dough scraps as necessary, but handle the dough gently to avoid tough scones.

Step 8

Brush the tops of the scones with the beaten egg for a golden glaze. Optionally, sprinkle with rolled oats or dust lightly with wholemeal flour for added texture and presentation.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the scones are risen and golden brown on top.

Step 10

Transfer the scones to a wire rack to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with butter, honey, or your favorite toppings.
