WHEAT GERM SCONE RECIPE
Scone Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup Wheat germ -- divided
- 1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar -- packed
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 6 tablespoons Butter or margarine
- 1/3 cup Golden raisins -- coarsely chopped
- 2 Eggs
- 1/4 cup Milk
Scone Preparation:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Reserve 1 tablespoon wheat germ. Combine the remaining wheat germ, flour, brown sugar, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the raisins. Beat the eggs in a small bowl. Add the milk; beat until well blended. Reserve 2 tablespoons milk mixture. Add the remaining milk mixture to the flour mixture; stir until the mixture forms a soft dough that pulls away from the side of the bowl. Turn out the dough onto a well-floured surface. Knead the dough 10 times. Roll out the dough with a lightly floured rolling pin into a 9 x 6-inch rectangle. Cut the dough into 6 squares with a lightly floured knife. Cut each square diagonally in half, making 12 triangles. Place the triangles 2 inches apart on an non greased baking sheet. Brush with the reserved milk mixture; sprinkle with the reserved wheat germ. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Serve warm or cool completely.
