Whole Grain Strawberry Pop Tart Scones
(new recipe modified on 2/26 after a couple people told me the dough was too wet to handle)
makes 8 scones
Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup all purpose flour
1 T baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup sugar
6 T cold butter, sliced into small pieces
1/2 cup cream
1/4 cup milk
1 vanilla bean, scraped (or two teaspoons vanilla extract)
1 cup chopped fresh strawberries
for icing:
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp milk
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425.
- Mix together the vanilla bean seeds, strawberries and milk in a small bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in the butter and work mixture together with your fingertips until it reaches the consistency of sand.
- Add the strawberries, milk and cream to the dry ingredients and mix together until a shaggy, wet dough forms.
- Pat dough into a large circle on a lined baking sheet and cut into eight pieces (like cutting a pie). Separate the pieces about an inch apart and bake for 16 minutes or until golden.
- Let scones cool completely while you combine the powdered sugar and milk to make the icing.
- Drizzle icing over scones and serve.
Time:
30 minutes
