- Add raisins
- Whisk together milk and 1 egg
- Make a well in the flour mixture; pour in milk mixture. Using fork, stir just until soft, moist dough is formed
- Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface; gently knead 1 or 2 times to incorporate loose pieces
- of dough. (Do not over-knead)
- Pat dough to 1 1/2-inch thickness.

- about 6 rounds.

- halfway through baking for more even browning

Note: These scones are more muffin-like in texture; dough will be moist
and wet, which ensures a tender texture.

Neven Maguire’s Brown Scones are full of roughage and great for breakfast
Brown scones are full of roughage and great for breakfast. And here is a good tip: you can make this mixture, shape the scones and freeze them. You can then cook the scones straight from the freezer to the oven – just give them an extra 5 minutes and make sure the scones are golden brown and well-risen.
Ingredients
- Rapeseed or sunflower oil, for greasing
- 225g (8oz) self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting
- 225g (8oz) coarse wholemeal flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 50g (2oz) wheat bran
- 25g (1oz) butter, diced and at room temperature
- 1 tsp light muscovado sugar
- 300ml (½ pint) buttermilk, plus a little extra if necessary
Method
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F/gas mark 7). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and grease the paper with a little oil.
- Sift the flours, baking soda and salt into a bowl. Tip in the bran left in the sieve and stir it in with the wheat bran. Rub in the butter with your fingertips until it is evenly dispersed. Stir in the sugar.
- Make a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the buttermilk and golden syrup. Using a large spoon, mix gently and quickly until you have achieved a smooth, not-too-sticky dough. Add a little more buttermilk if necessary, until the dough binds together without being sloppy.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a 2.5cm (1in) thickness and cut into rounds with a 6cm (2½in) plain cutter. Arrange on the lined baking sheets and bake for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown and well-risen.
- Serve with butter or lightly whipped cream and strawberry jam.
