Whole Wheat Strawberry Rhubarb Scones

Nicole Spiridakis
A gorgeous tidbit concerning these whole wheat strawberry rhubarb scones is that they make your entire kitchen smell of summer and slow, lazy mornings. Eat them warm with good butter and a thick smear of jam.

Ingredients
  

  • 3 stalks rhubarb, washed and sliced into 1/4 inch ribs, then cut the ribs in half
  • 10 strawberries, hulled and coarsely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar, + more for sprinkling on top
  • 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into pieces
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • ¾ cup buttermilk, plus 3 more tablespoons to brush on the scones

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven to 400℉ Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Place the rhubarb and strawberries in a medium bowl and drizzle with the honey. Let stand for at least 10 minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, ¼ cup sugar,baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the butter with a fork, and, using the fork and your fingers, whisk and cut in the butter until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the egg and buttermilk. Add to flour mixture all at once, stirring enough to make a soft dough. Fold in the fruit.
  • Turn out onto a floured board and knead about 15 times. Roll or pat out into a 1-inch thickness.
  • Cut into 2-inch rounds using a round cutter or cut into 2×2-inch squares (I used a small jam jar, which resulted in 16 scones). Reshape and roll dough to create more scones with excess scraps.
  • Place on the baking sheet. Brush lightly with the 3 tablespoons buttermilk and sprinkle with granulated sugar.
  • Place in oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown on top. Serve warm.
