Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Rye flour
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Caraway seeds
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.75 cup Buttermilk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Optional: coarse sugar or sea salt for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rye flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and caraway seeds.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a smaller bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, and honey until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a fork until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 3–4 times to bring it together. Pat it into a round disk about 1 inch thick.
Using a sharp knife or a pastry cutter, slice the disk into 8 equal wedges.
Transfer the wedges to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
If desired, sprinkle coarse sugar or sea salt on top of each scone for added texture and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the scones are golden brown on the edges and firm to the touch.
Let the scones cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite spreads or toppings.
