Makes 8 delicious scones.
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1/4 cup white unbleached flour
- 1/3 cup raisins
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp butter
Wet ingredients:
- 1/2 whole milk at room temperature (or buttermilk)
- 1 whole orange, zested + juiced
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Orange speckled glaze
- 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
- 3 tbsp orange juice
- zest of 1/2 an orange
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350F. Line baking sheet with a silicon mat or wax paper.
- In a small bowl, add whole milk + orange zest and juice. Stir and leave it for a few minutes to resemble buttermilk.
- In a medium bowl, sift whole wheat, almond, oat and white flour with baking soda + powder & salt. Add sugar and combine.
- Using a pairing knife, cut butter into small chunks. Add it in the dry ingredients and crumble (with fingers or pastry blender) until the mixture resembles crumbs. Set aside.
- Once milk mixture slightly resembles buttermilk, add vanilla extract.
- Combine wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Do not over mix.
- Flour your hands & baking surface liberally. Scoop up the dough onto the baking surface, forming it into a 3/4 thick circled disk.
- With a sharp knife, divide scones into 8 wedges. Line scones on baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
- Prepare glaze by adding all of the ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine!
- Allow scones to cool completely before drizzling some orange speckled glaze. Or a lot. I won’t blame you, it’s addictive 😉
Similar to treating yourself to delicious desserts after a visit from the doctors — you either make up an excuse to stuff yourself silly with desserts, of just go with the flow.
I hope your Monday was pain-free in comparison. If not, share some of your kitchen or household mishaps. Pinky promise not to laugh about it.
If you promise not to laugh at mine, as well 😉
