wholewheat Scones

This recipe is suitable for Vegans as it is made without the use of dairy products. The ingredients are low in fats & calories, yet simply delicious.

In this recipe I have used raisins. You may use cranberries or any fruit that you prefer. Nuts are also a healthy addition. The recipe can be adjusted fairly freely. I find that even though the dough, (including plain scones) may sometimes be too wet & not suitable to make round shapes, don't despair. Just take a tablespoon at a time and lay it on the baking tray and you will get tasty scones, though somewhat misshapen.

Be sure to apply a thin coating of butter or oil to the bottom of the baking tray before you add scones to be baked.

Scones bake very quickly in about 10-12 minutes. When cool, serve plain, or with butter/cheese (the vegan type if you prefer that) & enjoy with tea.

October, 2012-I have added an additional ingredient. It is cornflour/maizena. One tablespoon to a cupful of flour helps to make really soft scones.

Here is the recipe for wholewheat scones

  2. Add sugar (adjust amount to your taste)
  3. Add rest of dry ingredients. Then add honey and half cup of water, mix to a smooth dough. Add more water if dough is too thick
  4. If it sticks to fingers, add small amounts of cornflour (Maizena) until the dough is smooth
  5. Use a cutter or form small balls, flatten tops gently. Bake in a hot oven, 450 degrees F. for about 10-12 minutes
