Classic Brown Flour Scones

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt.

3. 3

   Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk and egg until well combined.

5. 5

   Pour the milk and egg mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.

6. 6

   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until it comes together.

7. 7

   Pat the dough into a circle about 1 inch thick. Cut into 8 wedges and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

8. 8

   Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown.
