Â
Ingredients:
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 T baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup sugar
6 T cold butter, sliced into small pieces
1 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
Â
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 and milk 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

I have made these twice and they are great. I put only1/4 sugar and skip the icing. You may could go down to 2 T if they are eating them with jam.
I got the recipe from this lady.... but couldn't figure out how to get them off the website properly.

. She calls for using whole wheat pastry flour with cream and it works/tastes great. I usually add whatever I have on hand...fresh fruit, nuts, coconut, dried ginger, dried fruit. You can't go wrong really. If I remember I'll post the recipe tomorrow when I'm not supposed to be sleeping.
