Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces
1 1/2 cups buttermilk; or, for a lighter scone, use half & half, milk or thinned plain yogurt
1/2 to 3/4 cup jam or preserves
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
-
In a large bowl or the bowl of a food processor, combine the flours, sugar, baking powder and salt. Blend using a pastry cutter or fork, or pulse the food processor until the mixture is combined but there are still bits of butter no bigger than a pea.
-
If you’re using a food processor, dump the mixture out into a bowl. Add the buttermilk, cream or milk, and stir just until the dough comes together.
-
Divide it in half, and on a floured surface roll each piece into a 10-inch square.
-
Spread the jam in a strip down the middle third of the square, and fold each half over it, overlapping like a letter. If you like, brush the tops with a little extra milk and sprinkle with sugar.
-
Transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden.
-
To serve, cut into thick slices, or triangle-shaped wedges by cutting at alternating angles.
