How to Make Irish Brown Scones
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly flour a baking sheet and set aside to preheat in the oven for 5 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 ½ cups whole wheat flour and ½ cup wheat germ.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Add to the bowl with the whole wheat flour and wheat germ.
- Using your fingertips, mix the dry ingredients until well combined.
- Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Stir in ½ cup granulated sugar.
- Gradually add 1 cup buttermilk, mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead for a few seconds just to bring it together.
- Use a 2-inch cookie cutter or knife to cut out scones.
- Carefully transfer the scones to the preheated baking sheet.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and risen. The internal temperature should reach 200°F.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving warm with butter and jam or your favorite topping.
