If you love scones, you'll love these fruity wholemeal cranberry scones. They're such a delicious easy bake. Great for sharing and healthier than those made with just white flour too!
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the flours, sugar and baking powder. You can do this either by hand or in a stand mixer.
Add the softened butter, 2 eggs, vanilla extract, milk and dried cranberries. Mix together.
Flour the surface of a worktop and using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to about 1.5”/4cm thick. The dough mixture will be quite sticky and if it is too sticky to roll use a little extra flour to reduce the stickiness. Don’t over flour though as you want the scones to have a fluffy consistency within.
Using a round 2”-3”/5cm-7.5cm pastry cutter, cut out the scones one by one placing them immediately onto the greased baking tray.
Brush the scones with the egg wash.
Bake in the oven for 15 – 20 mins. Check they are cooked before removing by inserting a skewer into the middle of a scone. If it comes out clean, they are ready.
Remove the scones to a wire rack to cool a little before serving.
Notes
Best served warm with a little butter and some strawberry or blackcurrant jam.
