Irish Brown Scones

Irish Brown Scones


1. Preheat oven to 400°F Lightly dust a baking sheet with some flour.

2. Put the whole wheat flour and wheat germ into a large mixing bowl. Sift the all-purpose flour, salt and baking soda into the bowl. Mix the ingredients well together with fingers.

3. Next, rub in the butter to pea-sized pieces; then mix in the sugar.

4. At this stage, put the lightly dusted tin into the oven to preheat.

5. Stir in enough buttermilk to make a soft dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead for a few seconds. Cut out scones with a round cookie cutter.

6. Put the scones on the preheated baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes or until risen and a golden brown.

7. Cool on a wire tray.
