    How to Make Wholesome Cream Scones

    1. Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F, ensuring it reaches the right temperature for baking the scones to a perfect golden brown.

    2. Combine Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, measure out and combine the unbleached whole-wheat pastry flour, baking powder, salt, and 0.25 cups of sugar. Stir these dry ingredients together thoroughly.

    3. Mix in Cream

    Stir in the cream. As you mix, you'll notice the dough just starts to come together, forming a sticky, cohesive mass.

    4. Knead the Dough

    Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead it briefly until it is completely together and manageable.

    5. Shape Dough and Add Toppings

    Pat the dough into an 8-inch circle. Brush the surface of the dough with the melted butter and sprinkle the remaining 1.5 tablespoons of sugar evenly on top.

    6. Cut and Arrange Scones

    Cut the circle of dough into 8 equal wedges and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone liner, spacing them about an inch apart to allow for even baking.

    7. Bake Scones

    Bake in the preheated oven for 17 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and firm to the touch.

    8. Cool and Serve

    Once done, remove the scones from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your wholesome cream scones with a cup of tea or coffee!
