Description
I have subbed half of the all-purpose flour with white whole wheat flour with pretty good results. The scones are a bit more dense but still delicious. If doing so, its important not to overflour (using a scale to weigh the flour can help as well as not packing the flour into the cup when measuring). The base scone recipe is very lightly sweet (meaning, not very sweet at all) which is perfect when paired with the sweet cinnamon chips and the light sprinkling of sugar, but if you are tempted to change up the add-in(s) or omit the sugar on top, you might want to increase the sugar in the dough just a bit. Speaking of cinnamon chips, the variety I use are on the miniature spectrum (similar to a mini chocolate chip) which means they easily find their way into all the nooks and crannies of the scone dough. If you use the cinnamon chips from your every day grocery store (similar to regular-sized chocolate chips), you might want to increase the amount and add 1 1/2 cups since they wont distribute as evenly as the mini ones.I almost always use a food processor to mix up scone or biscuit dough. Its an awesome tool to avoid overmixing the dough. If you dont have a food processor, cut the butter into the dry ingredients using a pastry blender or two butter knives. If doing so, youll want to get the butter/flour mixture incorporated together until the butter is in pea-sized or slightly smaller pieces before stirring in the buttermilk with a wooden spoon or large spatula. Its definitely doable to make these without a food processor so dont let that be a deal breaker.
