Granola Scones

Here's another great recipe from my trusty Simply Scones cookbook. These are no wimpy scones! They are hearty and filling -- delicious plain, with butter, or with jam or apple butter. I made some granola the other day (yum!), so I used it in this recipe. Store-bought granola will work just fine too!

Granola Scones
 Makes 8 scones

1-2/3 cup flour
1/ 3 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
 2-1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup unsalted butter, chilled
1/3 cup milk
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla
1-1/2 cup granola

Preheat oven to 375-F.  Lightly butter a baking sheet.

In a large bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients except the granola.  Using a cheese grater, grate the cold butter into the dry ingredients,  stirring often.

In a small bowl, whisk egg, milk and vanilla.  Add to flour mixture.  Stir or use fingers to knead in the granola.

Pat mixture  into an 8-inch circle directly on the baking sheet.  Using a knife or rolling pizza cutter, cut circle into 8 wedges.  Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Happy Baking!
