Whether you're looking for a gluten-friendly option or simply crave something unique, these granola-studded scones bring rustic comfort and rich flavor to your table.
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the buckwheat flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar.
Add the cold butter to the flour mixture and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut it into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the granola to evenly distribute it throughout the mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the yogurt or buttermilk, vanilla extract, egg, and honey or maple syrup until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overmix.
Lightly flour a clean surface and transfer the dough to it. Shape the dough into a circle about 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick.
Cut the dough into 8 equal wedges (like a pie) and transfer them to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them a few centimeters apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on top and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature, with butter, jam, or your favorite spread.
