Ingredients
- 2 and 1/3 cups of whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup of wheat germ
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar, firmly packed
- 4 teaspoons of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- A sprinkle of ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup of shortening
- 1 cup of sweetened dried cranberries, also known as Craisins®
- 2 tablespoons of freshly grated orange zest
- 1 egg from a happy chicken
- 3/4 cup of milk
- 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed orange juice
Step 1
To start, preheat your oven to a cozy 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and give a baking sheet a light greasing with a touch of care.
Step 2
In a spacious bowl, blend the whole wheat flour, wheat germ, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and a hint of nutmeg together with a gentle hand. Integrate the shortening until the mixture resembles delightful crumbs. Toss in the cranberries and a sprinkle of orange zest for that extra zing. Meanwhile, in another bowl, combine the egg, milk, and fresh orange juice with a swirl of excitement. Create a little well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the wet concoction. Gently stir until a lovely dough forms. Transfer this dough onto a floured surface and give it a quick, gentle knead to bring it all together. Roll it out to a thickness of about 1/2 inch and use a biscuit cutter to create charming circles. Place these scone wonders about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
Slide this tray of goodness into the preheated oven and let the magic happen until the tops and bottoms sport a beautiful golden hue, usually around 15 to 20 minutes. Serve these delightful scones warm, embracing the comforting aroma and flavors.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Utilize airtight containers to keep your scones fresh and flavorful.
- 2. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the perfect texture.
- 3. Line a storage container with parchment paper to prevent sticking and preserve the scone's appearance.
