How to Make Tahini Sunflower Seed Scones

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons baking powder until well combined.
  3. Add 1/2 cup tahini (or nut butter of your choice), incorporating one tablespoon at a time and mixing with the flour until combined.
  4. Using a pastry blender or your fingers, cut the tahini into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Fold in 1/2 cup roasted sunflower seeds (or 1/2 cup chopped nuts of your choice).
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 large egg and 2 tablespoons milk until blended.
  7. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, reserving 1 tablespoon of the egg mixture for glazing. Gently combine until just moistened.
  8. On a lightly floured surface, gently pat the dough to about 1-inch thickness.
  9. Use a 2-inch biscuit cutter or a glass to cut out scones.
  10. Place scones on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  11. Brush the tops of the scones with the reserved egg mixture. Sprinkle with extra seeds or nuts, if desired.
  12. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.
  13. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
