How to Make Buckwheat Cornmeal Scones

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, and heavy cream. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  4. Cut in the cold, coarsely chopped butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some larger butter pieces remaining.
  5. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. The dough should be slightly sticky but hold together.
  6. If the dough is too wet, add 1-2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it comes together.
  7. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently pat it into a 3/4-inch thick circle.
  8. Cut the circle into 8 equal wedges using a sharp knife or pizza cutter.
  9. Place the scones onto the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (this helps prevent the scones from spreading during baking).
  11. Brush the tops of the scones with a little milk and sprinkle with raw sugar (optional).
  12. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown and cooked through.
  13. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm and enjoy!
